FORD BURSARIES SOUTH AFRICA 2022-2023

WHO IS FORD?

Ford Motor Company is a global automotive and mobility company based in Dearborn, Michigan. Ford Motor Company of Southern Africa has been an active participant in the South African motor industry since 1923 when we began assembling Model T cars in a disused wool shed in Port Elizabeth.  

We remain one of Southern Africa’s leading automotive companies. One element of Ford operations throughout the world that continues to stand above all is the brand promise: Go Further. It is a modern interpretation of Henry Ford’s vision to “open the highways to all mankind”.

Ford is helping to realise this vision in Africa today by offering South Africans a full family of smart, safe and economical vehicles, from the entry-level Figo to the pick-up truck benchmark – the Ranger. We also offer a full range of SUVs and light commercial vehicles. 

We have grown our family of performance cars with the Fiesta ST and Focus ST and RS, while adding the cherry-on-the top in the form of the iconic Mustang which is available in right-hand drive for the first time in its history, which goes back more than 50 years.

All Ford vehicles offer smart technologies, stylish design, fuel efficiency, safety, service and maintenance excellence at affordable prices, giving drivers peace of mind on the road and in their pockets.

OUDTSHOORN MUNICIPALITY BURSARIES SOUTH AFRICA 2022-2023

WHO IS OUDTSHOORN MUNICIPALITY?

The Oudtshoorn Local Municipality is a Category B municipality located within the Garden Route District in the Western Cape Province. It is one of the seven municipalities in the district.

 

The Greater Oudtshoorn area is nestled at the foot of the Swartberg Mountains in the heart of the Little Karoo region in the Western Cape. It is defined as a semi-desert area with a unique and sensitive natural environment. It was once the indigenous home of the Khoisan people, and so there are many rock paintings to be found.

 

The municipality's development potential recognises the impact of being home to the world’s largest ostrich population, which is a key component of their agricultural industry. The discovery of the Cango Caves and continual allure of unique natural heritage has drawn people to this region.

 

Oudtshoorn serves as a regional centre for the surrounding agricultural area. The natural environment of the area creates a natural hospitality towards the tourism industry, and a related boom in accommodation.

 

Oudtshoorn is a centre of regional cultural, sport and art activities, and has, since 1994, been host to the nationally famous Klein Karoo Nasionale Kuntefees (KKNK), an arts festival held in March/April every year. A total of 411 temporary job opportunities were created directly by the ABSA KKNK, of which 76% were filled by black employees. The total economic impact of the ABSA KKNK is estimated at about R110 million, which makes the festival a major contributor to the economy in Oudtshoorn. A joint strategy was developed through the Greater Oudtshoorn Vision 2030 process to ensure both the broader benefaction of local communities and the sustainability of the festival.

 

Oudtshoorn's relatively higher ‘development potential' is directly linked to its geographic location on main transport routes, natural resource base, human resources, institutional centre function, and commercial services. Recent studies of Oudtshoorn growth potential identified it as one of 14 important ‘leader towns' in the Western Cape province.
