South African Auto Week kicked off with an engaging Media Day featuring a Press Conference hosted by naamsa in the Centenary Pavillion & Expo. The naamsa Board presented the highly anticipated State of the Auto Industry report, a comprehensive overview of the South African automotive industry’s rich heritage, tracing back 100 years to its inception in 1924. This milestone presentation highlighted key achievements, pivotal transformations, and the industry’s profound impact on South Africa’s economy over the past century.

The Press Conference provided an exceptional opportunity for journalists and media professionals to gain direct insights into the industry’s future. Attendees also had the exclusive chance to conduct One-on-One interviews with naamsa CEOs and industry leaders present at SA Auto Week.​

This media engagement was an important platform for amplifying the event’s impact, fostering transparency, and showcasing South Africa’s automotive legacy and future directions to a broader audience.​
