After about 78 years of manufacturing tyres in Kariega, Nelson Mandela Bay, in the Eastern Cape, Goodyear factory is reported to be closing. The tyre manufacturing company is said to be restructuring which includes the closure of the company's manufacturing plant in the Eastern Cape. It alleged that section 189A retrenchment notices have already been served; a process which will be facilitated by the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration(CCMA).
