Alternative dispute resolution to ensure that the Motor Industry and consumers receive the justice and treatment that we all as citizens of South Africa deserve. The Motor Industry Ombudsman of South Africa (MIOSA) is a totally independent institution that focuses on the resolution of disputes where a deadlock has been reached between the motor and related industries and their customers. The MIOSA therefore strives to contribute to the continuous improvement of customer care in the motor industry to the benefit of all parties concerned.  The services offered to consumers by the MIOSA is free of charge. However, should it prove necessary and a technical inspection has to be carried out by the MIOSA, the costs incurred during such an inspection will be for the complainant's account. Prior approval will be obtained by the office of the MIOSA.  The MIOSA also educates - by means of the printed media, radio and television - vehicle owners of the procedures to be followed regarding service, costs and handling of complaints. It endeavours to save time, money and frustration for both the motorist and the industry.  The MIOSA is funded by the Automotive Industry. However, the automotive industry has no say in the running of the organisation, nor do they have any influence in the rulings made by the MIOSA.  The MIOSA is, in essence, an autonomous institution that acts as a referee between the motor industry and the motorist.

Unemployment is unsustainably high in South Africa. Manufacturing is the sector that offers the greatest potential to create jobs at respectable pay levels. These jobs will create a bigger market and economy for all, leading to higher levels of equality and government income, to enable delivery of better services and support to the poorest. A strong and healthy manufacturing sector requires a deliberate and positive approach by all stakeholders to bring about an environment that is conducive to increased investment into manufacturing, improved competitiveness and job creation. For a multitude of reasons, for which we bear collective responsibility, that approach has not been timeously forthcoming, leaving our manufacturing sector lagging after the recession of 2009. Nevertheless, many of the challenges facing manufacturing in South Africa today can be addressed by adjustments to our approach to economic policy development and implementation, as well as to how we govern and how we engage our trading partners to ensure a level playing field for our industries. ? ‘The Manufacturing Circle provides the platform for manufacturers to position the sector as the growth engine of the South African economy. The Manufacturing Circle is the voice for South African Manufacturing’. The Manufacturing Circle spans all types of manufacturing, and speaks for all South African manufacturers. We ensure that our sector is consulted and heard when important policies are negotiated with government.   The Manufacturing Circle does not compete with any existing organisation. We promote a positive policy environment for manufacturing growth.  We do not function as an industry development body or an employer organisation. Our approach is co-operative, providing leadership to the sector, across the sector.

Products addressed include passenger cars, trucks and buses, original equipment components, aftermarket parts and accessories.  The AIEC works closely with Trade and Investment South Africa (TISA), the trade promotion arm of the Department of Trade and Industry, in the following main activities: General promotion of South African automotive manufacturing capability Trade Missions of South African companies to potential export markets Investigations and research into new markets and additional opportunities in existing markets Funding of the above activities is subsidised by TISA for approved projects and travel. In addition, the AIEC assists members by providing information on a wide range of markets and export-related subjects through continually updated research and databases, as well as assisting with training programs. The costs of membership are nominal and provide substantial benefits. The success of the AIEC is self-evident from the large and sustained growth in exports of automotive products from South Africa. You will find some of this in the general sections of this website, and much more in the members-only area.  The AIEC is operated from the NAAMSA offices in Pretoria and the activities and administration are coordinated by the AIEC Board. The AIEC Board of Directors consists of Mr Roger Pitot (Executive Director – NAACAM – Chairperson), Mr Nico Vermeulen (Director – NAAMSA), Dr Norman Lamprecht (Executive Manager – NAAMSA) as well as two ex-officio members from the Department of Trade and Industry, Mr Mzwakhe Mbatha and Mr Jacob Moatshe. Export Councils are the prime delivery vehicles that stimulate export growth and deepen the export base. This format was initiated by Trade and Investment South Africa in a number of key sectors, and is also aimed at assisting Small Medium and Micro Enterprises (SMMEs) and Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) companies to enter the export market successfully. The AIEC was established at the end of 1999. The purpose was to provide a cost effective administered central body to assist companies in the automotive sector that are currently exporting, may be interested in exporting in future, or may become capable of exporting in future. The end result of the AIEC activities will be to broaden the export base by bringing in more companies that export directly in their own right or by being suppliers to exporting companies. In addition, the objective is to increase the value of exports of automotive products. The AIEC represents the interests of eight motor vehicle exporters/manufacturers, namely BMW, Ford, General Motors, Mercedes Benz, Nissan, Renault, Toyota and Volkswagen as well as exporters/manufacturers of trucks and buses, and over 400 component suppliers in South Africa.
