This web page frankflatters.blogspot.com states the following, "Comments on policy issues that catch my eye or ire." We saw that the webpage said " The Motor Industry, Industrial Policy and SAs Trade Deficit." It also said " South Africas motor industry alone accounts for about 40 percent of the countrys trade deficit. In a recent post I suggested that this is evidence of the sectors lack of international competitiveness. The industry is able to survive in SA only as a result of massive subsidies, ranging from import taxes and controls, to tax incentives, and direct cash handouts. Is the APDP any better?."
