Enabling Localisation Across the Automotive Value Chain
Mzansi Automotive specialises in driving the localisation of automotive component manufacturing in South Africa. We offer a full-spectrum service — from strategic planning to execution — designed to help companies and investors successfully navigate the localisation journey.
Localisation Strategy & Facilitation
We work with OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers, and local manufacturers to identify localisation opportunities and develop actionable strategies that align with South Africa’s industrial policies and transformation goals.
Government Incentive Access
Our team has a proven track record in unlocking government support. We guide clients through the application and structuring of key incentives, grants, and rebates available for local manufacturing and industrial development.
Development finance & capital raising
We structure projects to attract development finance, private equity, and strategic investment. From feasibility to funding close, we provide expert support across all capital-raising stages.
Legal & Regulatory Advisory
Localisation requires navigating complex regulatory environments. Our legal professionals offer tailored advisory services to ensure compliance with all relevant legislation, including local content thresholds and B-BBEE requirements.
Operational & Engineering Support
We bring technical know-how to every deal. Our specialists assist with manufacturing readiness assessments, operational setup, and engineering reviews to ensure sustainable, efficient production.

Mzansi Automotive is hands-on throughout the localisation process. From early-stage planning to plant commissioning, we manage and support projects to ensure they are delivered on time, within budget, and to specification.
Government communication and engagement
We support structured, strategic engagement with government at all levels — ensuring your localisation project aligns with policy priorities and unlocks the necessary public-sector support.
