New data out this week showsthat car sales in South Africa declined for a fourth straight month in August, in a month where the rand hit its lowest ever mark against the US dollar.<\/span><\/p>\n

Data on Tuesday showed sales fell by 8.2% to 55,055 units, having contracted 6.1% in July.<\/span><\/p>\n

Data provided by Lightstone Auto, and the The National Association of Automobile Manufacturers of South Africa (Naamsa) showed that the VW <\/span>Polo Vivo sold the most units in the country, ahead of a fierce battle in the ‘bakkie’ segment.<\/p>\n

According to Reuters, the automotive industry’s contribution to GDP has slowed to around 7.5% in 2014 from around 12% a decade ago.<\/span><\/p>\n

Exacerbating the industry’s woes, the South African Reserve Bank raised the repo rate to 6% in July.<\/span><\/p>\n

Naamsa said that it expects the downward sales trend will continue in medium term amid declining business confidence and consumer sentiment.<\/p>\n
