Strike action cuts F30 production in SA

Anyone here affected yet by the slowdown in production due to the strike in the supplier sector in South Africa ?

BMW had to cut production by 1/3 about 2 weeks ago and Ford and Toyota have stopped production all together. Mercedes is also having to slow production.

I ordered a 2014 320i (SA build) on 06/30 and via the production tracker it was finished on 07/11.

Called today to get my production status and I'm now scheduled to be completed on the 23rd. I was pushed back nearly two weeks!
