Did you know that Africa, including South Africa, is being used as a "dump site" for unsafe cars?
Manufacturers are selling models in South Africa/Africa that lack life-saving features that are standard in Europe and the US.
These unsafe cars sre:
● Toyota Starlet -structurally unstable
● Hyundai Grand i10 - recently failed crash tests.
● Corolla Cross drop - side-curtain airbags are removed in Africa to "cut costs".
● Chery Tiggo 7 Pro- Lacks side head protection and has an unstable bodyshell.
Recent #SaferCarsForAfrica reports from the @AASouthAfrica and @GlobalNCAP reveal a shocking double standard.
Why is this allowed?
The AA blames outdated SABS regulations and weak enforcement by the NRCS and Department of Transport. By failing to update baseline safety laws and crash-test standards, authorities are essentially allowing brands to prioritize profit over African lives.
