GUEST - Vishal Premlall National Director of the Tyre, Equipment, Parts Association
Almost 200 industry stakeholders, with senior representation from the Department of Trade Industry and Competition (DTIC) and the National Regulator for Compulsory Specifications (NRCS) gathered at Automechanika last week for the launch of the Blow the Whistle Compliance Forum designed to stamp out the trade in illegal automotive parts in South Africa.
Spearheading the campaign, Vishal Premlall National Director of the Tyre, Equipment, Parts Association, a proud association of the Retail Motor Industry Organisation (RMI), said he was delighted that the Forum had been given the thumbs up by Government. “The trade in illegal parts has far-reaching implications for South Africa, affecting both consumer safety and the economic landscape.
The establishment of an Industry Compliance Forum, in collaboration with regulatory bodies and stakeholders, presents a strategic opportunity to address this challenge and contribute to the country's overall growth,” says Premlall.
