Ford South Africa’s 100th anniversary is more than a milestone, it’s a testament to resilience, unity, and an enduring legacy. As the first automaker to set roots in South Africa, Ford’s century-long journey has been one of constant growth, innovation, and an unwavering commitment to making a positive impact on both its people and the communities around it.
To commemorate this historic journey, we’re excited to release the final video from Ford SA’s ‘Our Ford Stories’ series, coinciding with the close of our Centenary Celebrations. Through this series, Ford South Africa reflects on the milestones that have shaped a legacy deeply intertwined with the country and its people.
“To stand the test of time and still be going strong is a remarkable achievement, and a very humbling one,” says Neale Hill, President of Ford Motor Company Africa. “Ford South Africa is defined not only by our legacy of resilience and innovation but by the people who bring it to life every day. From those who’ve been with us for decades to new generations embracing Ford’s values, our strength lies in a deep commitment to supporting each other and uplifting our communities.”
This anniversary is a collective celebration that resonates through generations. It reflects a legacy shared by Ford’s diverse workforce, who carry forward a pride and identity rooted in the rich history of Ford’s contributions to South Africa. Each story, memory, and milestone over the past century forms the foundation for the future, inspiring the next 100 years of Ford in South Africa.
Join us as we celebrate this significant chapter and honour the people who make Ford South Africa’s journey so exceptional. The final video installment of ‘Our Ford Stories’ series is a tribute to the enduring relationships, resilience, and shared spirit that have defined Ford South Africa and will propel us forward into the future.
