Zipse’s comments on Tuesday are thought to be another attempt to pressure the UK government to seek a harmonious exit or, better still, remain in the EU. He said if Britain leaves the EU later in 2019 without a trade deal, Hams Hall engines would lose their EU status and SA-made X3s could no longer be imported duty-free into Europe. Under an SA-EU free-trade agreement, SA vehicles must contain at least 60% SA and EU value content to qualify. Engines are a significant part of that value.

‘If we in SA torch their trucks, they’ll torch ours’: Zulu king'If South Africans keep torching trucks driven by foreign nationals, there is a chance the same thing will happen to local drivers when they cross our neighbours’ borders.' No cure for stupidity. This excuse is the same one by Zuma government when they refused to arrest Al Bashir. Telling lies to the nation that SA soldiers in Sudan are at risk. While divination from the reality of why he needed to be arrested. Why locals are doing this, that's what we need to deal with. Acts of Xenophobia should be criminalized, just like in other 1st world civilized countries, like Denmark, Norway, Switzerland etc, our people need exposure and education, that’s how the mindset will change.
