PRETORIA, SOUTH AFRICA, 09 June 2026 – Ford Motor Company of Southern Africa (Manufacturing) (Pty) Limited has become aware of an unauthorised and fraudulent appointment of a Non-Executive Director with the Companies and Intellectual Property Commission (CIPC).

Any dealings or transactions with Mr. Myburgh as a purported representative of Ford are unenforceable and invalid. Customers, partners and stakeholders are cautioned that any commitments, agreements or representations made by Mr. Myburgh as representing the company are fraudulent and constitute a deliberate misrepresentation.
Ford has immediately commenced filing formal criminal charges; including fraud, extortion and misrepresentation with the South African Police Service (SAPS), and has lodged a formal complaint/objection with the CIPC.
Ford maintains the strictest corporate governance standards and protocols. The company has formally requested an urgent explanation from the CIPC regarding how this unauthorised appointment was permitted to occur without the involvement, consent or participation of Ford.
Ford reserves all of its rights in this matter.
