NISSAN Africa has moved to alleviate concerns regarding the potential closure of its plants, particularly the Rosslyn Plant in Pretoria amidst reports of a drastic corporate restructuring plan by its Japanese parent company.

The news has sent waves of anxiety through the workforce and the automo-tive sector, given Nissan Japan's recently announced intention to consolidate its global production facilities.

In response to Business Report on Tuesday about which plants would be affected, Nissan Africa head of communications and PR, Ramy Mohareb, clarified that the reports about the closure of specific plants were not substantiated by official communication from the company.

Mohareb said the group was still focused on its operations and the dedicated workforce driving its success.
