Toyota SA will scrap all vehicles damaged during the floods at its Prospecton plant so that they don’t make it into the retail chain.

“This has been a tremendous setback for the company, but we have extensive insurance coverage. We are also fortunate that our parent company Toyota Motor Corporation is supporting with all the cash flow challenges that we are likely to encounter.”

But it will take some time for the main lines — such as Hilux, Fortuner, HiAce, Corolla Cross and Corolla Quest — to reopen. “We’ve been through the process of cleaning, drying and flushing. And now we are checking our equipment — repairing, powering up the control panels and ordering replacement parts where necessary.Sixty specialists and engineers have been sent from Japan to support the recovery of the plant.

“The facility’s flood-protection measures were effective up to a point and will be reinstated and enhanced. Toyota SA is working closely with the City of eThekwini to address the infrastructure shortfalls to prevent a reoccurrence of a similar disaster.” Kirby said employees are receiving 50% of their wages, but Toyota SA is working with government to provide UIF benefits.
