Six years and 3,375 placements
The program gives Motus a measurable workforce and training angle as its automotive operations adjust to electric vehicles, digital systems and changing customer demand. The partnership has placed participants across eight provinces, with Gauteng accounting for 71 percent of placements, according to Daily Maverick.
Funding supports the balance sheet
Motus also hosted its inaugural bond auction on October 8, 2026, issuing ZAR 1.8 billion of senior unsecured floating-rate notes. The auction reached 3.26 times bid cover, and the company said the proceeds would refinance higher-cost borrowings, as reported by Sharenet on October 12, 2026.
What does the earnings base show?
For fiscal year 2026, Motus reported revenue of ZAR 113,550 million, up 1 percent, while profit before tax rose 20 percent to ZAR 4,005 million.
