The Ford Motor Company of Southern Africa has notified stakeholders that it has become aware of an unauthorised and fraudulent appointment of a nonexecutive director with the Companies and Intellectual Property Commission (CIPC).

In a statement, it notes that the listing of Clinton Ward Myburgh as a nonexecutive director of the company is “entirely false”.

“This appointment is not recognised, authorised or approved by Ford or any of its representatives. Mr Myburgh is not associated with Ford Motor Company in any capacity and is not a Ford employee.

“Any dealings or transactions with Mr Myburgh as a purported representative of Ford are unenforceable and invalid,” the company explains.

Ford cautions customers, partners and stakeholders that any commitments, agreements or representations made by Myburgh as representing the company are fraudulent and constitute a deliberate misrepresentation.

Ford says it has started filing formal criminal charges, including fraud, extortion and misrepresentation with the South African Police Service and has lodged a formal complaint and objection with the CIPC.

“Ford maintains the strictest corporate governance standards and protocols. The company has formally requested an urgent explanation from the CIPC regarding how this unauthorised appointment was permitted to occur without the involvement, consent or participation of Ford.”
