South Africa is one of the fastest developing countries in the world. Provinces of Gauteng, the Eastern Cape and KwaZulu-Natalare prominent commercial destinations in the country. With a population of over 54 million, the country maintains a large motor vehicle fleet which is continuously expanding, and thereby boosting the country’s tire demand.
