Ford Declares Any Dealings With Clinton Ward Myburgh as Unenforceable and Invalid

In a statement issued on 9 June 2026, the company said the listing of Clinton Ward Myburgh as a non-executive director is false and was not authorised, approved or recognised by Ford or any of its representatives.

Ford denies any association

Ford said Myburgh is not associated with the 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 said.

The automaker warned customers, partners and other stakeholders that any commitments, agreements or representations made by Myburgh on behalf of Ford should be treated as fraudulent.

Criminal charges and CIPC complaint

Ford said it has begun filing formal criminal charges with the South African Police Service, including allegations of fraud, extortion and misrepresentation.

The company has also lodged a formal complaint and objection with the CIPC.

Ford said it has requested an urgent explanation from the CIPC regarding how the appointment was recorded without the company’s involvement, consent or participation.

Governance concerns

The company said it maintains strict corporate governance standards and is investigating the matter.

Ford added that it reserves all of its rights in relation to the incident.
