In 1989, on Ford's departure from South Africa in the apartheid era, Bantam production was moved to the Samcor plant in Silverton, Pretoria. The tailgate panels on the earlier Bantams and Rustlers carry Ford or Mazda script, while those built after the divestment carry MMI script. It was the small half ton pickup known there as a bakkie, sold beside the Mazda Rustler. The Bantam was a coupe utility pickup that Ford produced in South Africa for the South African market.
