THE FACTS
• No united MBR grouping exists across the regions of Southern Africa with a single recognizable brand that can be contracted by Industry Roll players and the Public at large .
• Industry Associations such as SAMBRA & CRA exists , to ensure that quality & standards are maintained . Due to the nature of their constitutions , as well as legal restraints ( such as the Competition- & Consumer Acts ) they are prevented from negotiating as a collective , regarding fair pricing of labour , parts & services . This lack of unity is a barrier to business success in the 21 century !
• This confusing situation manifested in many negative effects such as manipulation , mistrust and fear . Division developed amongst MBR ’ s , and unity , which is a key factor for mutual success in the industry is being restrained .
• The good news is that there are a multitude of successful and proudly independent MBR businesses across the face of Southern Africa . (+ 1500 ) They already have the experience and infrastructure in place .
