For Ramaphosa the move is proof that the country remains an attractive investment destination.
American multinational consumer goods firm Procter and Gamble has launched a new manufacturing line at its Pampers facility in Kempton Park that will produce the Pampers Premium Care diaper range.
The firm owns well-known household brands like Vicks, Gillette and Oral-B, and already manufactures three of its brands in South Africa, the other two being Always feminine products and Ariel laundry detergents. Although it wasn’t clear the exact number of jobs the new line will create for the Gauteng economy, Vecera did highlight that P&G’s South Africa operations – along with those of its partners – have contributed over 4 000 direct and indirect jobs to the economy over the years.
This despite the blow being dealt to the country’s economy by the continuing power crisis, dysfunctional rail and port system, and decrepit infrastructure. “We have the ability to attract higher levels of investment and we look forward to working with Procter & Gamble on its future pipeline of investments.
