Of the total number of water-damaged vehicles assessed, 500 units have passed inspection and will be retailed, said Toyota. After the KwaZulu-Natal floods in 2017, Toyota put in place measures to mitigate future occurrences, including installing pumps and piping within the plant to disperse water as well as maintaining the water-drainage channels surrounding the facility.

“Our approach and response is to prioritise our staff and their families, ensuring that their safety and wellness comes first. This will then be followed by the communities around us, including our extended Toyota family — our dealers and suppliers; in fact, we have already put plans in place to make a sizeable donation to an NGO to assist local communities,” he said.
