FORD Motor Company has doubled its investment in vehicle manufacturer SA Motor Corporation to 90% by acquiring a further 45% share from Anglo American Corporation of SA. Ford, which already holds 45% of Samcor’s shares, is set to purchase Anglo’s 45% — 35% immediately and the remaining 10% within the next two years. Ford will also buy Anglo’s 25% stake n Ford Credit of SA, which finances motor purchases. Lewis Booth, Ford’s president of Asia-Pacific and Africa operations, says the purchase reflects the company’s confidence in SA as a growth platform.
