With the severe foreign import restrictions imposed by the newly elected Nationalist government in 1948 Yardley looked to establishing its own manufacturing facilities in South Africa. An African-based company was launched with head offices established in Cape Town in rented accommodation. This was replaced by a building to their own specifications, commenced in 1959 and opened in 1960. References: Shorten, John R. 1963.
