JOHANNESBURG Oct 17 (Reuters) – Toyota Motor Corp
shut a South African car factory on Wednesday due to a strike at
parts suppliers Toyota Boshuku, which makes seats and door
panels.
“Lack of supplies has forced us to stop production,” said
spokesman Leo Kok. He said the plant received 700 units from the
supplier daily and was likely to remain closed for the duration
of the supplier’s strike.
