German carmaker Volkswagen says it will produce a combined 24,300 new units in its plants in Kenya and South Africa as it seeks to diversify sales on the continent, whose auto market has seen slow growth in the past three years.
The market forecast is for modest recovery in 2018, thanks to rebounding economies and new assembly plants.
