‘My first car was a BMW — now I'm driven in one': Ramaphosa says BMW has always been a part of his journey
President Cyril Ramaphosa has praised BMW South Africa's commitment to innovation, skills development and inclusive economic growth during an event showcasing the automaker's latest investment in hybrid vehicle production at its Rosslyn plant in Pretoria. Speaking at the event, themed 'BMW Group South Africa: Leading Today, Enabling Tomorrow', Ramaphosa lauded the launch of the local production of the new BMW X3 plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV), calling it a major milestone for the automotive sector and a symbol of trust in South Africa's workforce and manufacturing capability. 'The Rosslyn plant is a testament to BMW's long-standing presence in the South African market. This world-class facility was the first BMW plant to be built outside Germany and has been at the centre of the group's operations since 1973,' Ramaphosa said. The president joked about his own long-standing relationship with the brand. 'I don't know what they will call me because my first car was a BMW — not that I tried to run away from BMW. I am now also being driven in a BMW. So BMW has never left me,' he quipped. Ramaphosa also welcomed the automaker's inclusive approach to its workforce. 'I am very pleased that they call you associates because that means you are very much a part of this company,' he said. The president highlighted the importance of BMW's investment in plug-in hybrid technology and its alignment with South Africa's transition to a low-carbon, climate-resilient economy. 'As the transition to battery electric vehicles, plug-in hybrids and hydrogen mobility gathers momentum, South Africa is perfectly positioned as a key global manufacturing base for the mobility of the future,' Ramaphosa said. He emphasised that the government is committed to supporting the green transition through clear policy frameworks. 'We are determined to ensure there is an enabling regulatory and policy environment. Through the Automotive Production and Development Programme and more recently, the Electric Vehicle White Paper and incentive programme, we have committed to a stable, predictable and supportive framework for companies to invest, localise and grow in South Africa,' he said. The president noted the country's competitive edge, citing the automotive sector's contribution of about 4.9% to GDP and support for more than 115,000 direct manufacturing jobs and more than half a million jobs across the value chain. 'South Africa is the 22nd largest vehicle exporter globally, with our main export destinations being the EU, US and UK,' he said. Ramaphosa also praised BMW for its efforts in empowering youth and advancing transformation. 'BMW Group is to be congratulated for its commitment to skills development and training for young people. This includes its partnership with Unicef to train learners and educators in coding and robotics in schools and the BMW South Africa IT Hub in Tshwane that employs over 2,000 professionals, including software engineers and digital specialists,' he said. He noted that the company's training academy produces 300 apprentices annually and has trained more than 2,000 artisans since 1978. BMW's partnership with the Youth Employment Service has supported more than 3,500 youth with placements across provinces in sectors such as retail, IT, education and health. 'BMW's commitment to transformation includes active mentorship of young women, the development of black industrialists, and investment in a pipeline of future managers through its Leadership Acceleration Programme,' Ramaphosa said. The president also addressed recent developments in international trade, pointing out that new US tariffs underscore the urgency for South Africa to diversify its export base and invest in domestic value creation. 'With our significant reserves of critical minerals, we must become a hub for processing and beneficiation. We are finalising targeted incentives for battery cell localisation, EV component manufacture, clean mobility research and design, and critical mineral beneficiation,' he said. 'BMW's roots may be in Bavaria, but its beating heart is South African. We see BMW as an integral part of the South African growth story. As the government of national unity, we welcome the role you continue to play in supporting our drive for inclusive growth and job creation.' TimesLIVE

Volvo EX90 full review: Luxury at its finest, but scary software glitches
The Volvo EX90 When Volvo launched the fully electric EX90 in South Africa in March, my It was launched at R2 650 000 but, surprisingly, Volvo reported that it sold 30 units by the end of April. The EX90 was also crowned the 2025 World Luxury Car of the Year so it was important for the Mail & Guardian to spend some time with the vehicle before making a final judgment on the price. When the EX90 landed on my driveway, it was difficult to stop admiring its good looks before anything else. Like its younger sibling, the EX30, it has this aggressive front that turns heads wherever you go. The headlights, which are meant to look like Thor's hammer, add to the marvel of the front. The frameless mirrors also contribute to the clean and simple yet mean look of the vehicle. The taillights have a three-part design starting with a light bar and curving all the way down on each side to form a horseshoe. Ultimately, the EX90 is more than attractive from the outside, it's downright sexy. It makes you feel like you want to step in and start enjoying the vehicle. When you step inside, you find a first class cabin. A clean dashboard made out of recycled materials — leather or cloth seats, depending on what the customer has chosen — and a 14.5-inch display screen that comes fully equipped with a Google operating system. Volvo also included a nine-inch screen in front of the driver that acts as a digital cluster. This is a huge improvement from the EX30, which didn't have anything in front of the driver and meant having to look at the infotainment screen for information, leading to distractions while driving. You also get a huge panoramic glass roof. This allowed my toddler to look at the stars and fall asleep, but the only annoying part about that glass roof is that it gets dirty quickly and you can see the dirt from the inside. I wish they had included ambient lighting or a themed glass roof to help with this. The vehicle is also a seven-seater SUV. The second row of seats are comfortable for any adult while the third row is suitable for kids. One nice feature I enjoyed is that the middle seat in the second row can be turned into a built-in booster seat, which is a valuable addition for parents with young children. The drive When I drove the car on launch, it was very brief. The Volvo EX90 did not feel like a car that weighed close to three tonnes. While testing it for a week, it became clear why this car was named World Luxury Car of the Year 2025. The take off is smooth, effortless and the way it picks up speed is calm and linear, unless you put it into performance mode. But you could be driving the national speed limit on the highway and feel like you are just cruising through a suburb. That is just how amazing the vehicle is to drive. The twin motors connected to the 111kWh battery pack delivers 380kW of power and 910Nm of torque which means that power will never be a problem even for a car of this size. Overtakes and quick boosts on the highway are completely effortless. The best part about all of it is that it is done in complete silence. Charging and software issues The Volvo EX90 is beautiful, elegant and drives like a dream, but it is not short of flaws. On the second day of my test, I jumped into the car in the morning and it didn't want to move out of park. I started panicking. I thought to myself: 'Did I just break a R2.7 million car?' Then the infotainment system gave me an alert that the Electronic Stability Control had been temporarily disabled, which made me stress even more. The infotainment system then pointed out that the car had a critical error. It also said there was a software update available. I did some research and it turned out that this was an issue on Volvo models like the XC90 where the software would glitch and the car was not able to move. I decided to update the software which took about 90 minutes and required a minimum of 40% of battery. Once it was done, the car was ready to move again, but this was highly inconvenient and something that Volvo needs to address urgently. A car filled with the amount of technology that this car has should at least warn the driver that a system update is due the night before. South Africa is still underdeveloped in terms of charging stations. If you are in and around Johannesburg, it's easy enough to find a charging station. But, for someone like me, who lives as far east as the East Rand goes, the closest charging station was 35km away. This meant that I had to account for stopping and charging every time I needed to go out. This is a mild issue however, because Volvo has promised to provide new EX90 owners with two years of free public charging, a GridCars wallbox with installation at home and 10 GB of Vodacom data per month for three years. Volvo claims 604km of range on the battery. A full battery gave me about 550km, which is not bad. On a 50kWh fast charger, it took two hours to charge the battery from 18% to 100%. Safety Dubbed the safest Volvo ever engineered, the EX90's notably large sensor placed at the top of the car is known as the light detection and ranging (LiDAR) sensor and forms images based on light, calculates exactly where those images are and submits it to the vehicle, which can then make an intelligent decision. LiDAR has been tested to detect small objects up to 150m away and larger objects from 250m away. Volvo estimates that these advanced safety technologies can reduce serious injuries or fatalities by 20%. Thanks to its intelligence, Volvo guarantees that with future updates to the software, it will further contribute to autonomous driving. Other safety features include steering support (Pilot Assist), a head-up display, a 360-degree camera, Lane Keeping Aid, Park Pilot Assist, Run-off Road Mitigation, Blind Spot Information System with cross-traffic alert, Collision Avoidance and Mitigation, Intersection Autobrake and Road Sign Information. Verdict The Volvo EX90 is almost too good to be true both on the outside and inside. It's powerful, big and super luxurious and comfortable. Every day, it felt more and more worth it until I remembered the actual price. At R2 650 000, the price still feels a little too heavy to me.
