Zeda Delivers Double-Digit Earnings Growth Despite Sector Turbulence

Loading player...
Global automotive disruption, supply-chain shifts, and weakening used-car prices are reshaping the mobility industry but Zeda is proving its resilience. Gugulethu Mfuphi speaks to Zeda CEO Ramasela Ganda about the group’s strong FY25 performance, delivered against one of the toughest backdrops the sector has faced in years.

Ganda unpacks how global tariffs, the rise of Chinese and Japanese manufacturers, and changing vehicle flows into Africa are putting pressure on traditional rental and resale models. Yet despite the squeeze, Zeda reported a 10.8% increase in operating profit, 15.7% growth in headline earnings, and a total dividend of 181 cents per share.
