Toyota mourns the passing of Nelson Rolihlala Mandela

By

Toyota South Africa Motors today mourns the passing of South Africa’s first democratically elected president and a true father of the Rainbow Nation.

Mr Mandela will be remembered for many things and Toyota will celebrate his contribution to opening South Africa to the world. Under his watchful eye, and subsequent governments, South Africa has made its voice heard and has changed from a local vehicle supplier to a large exporter that exports Proudly South African Toyota models to nearly 60 countries across the globe.

“Our thoughts are with Madiba’s family and close friends and with each of our colleagues and fellow countrymen who have lost an inspirational leader. We hope our continued investment in and development of the South African economy will be a fitting tribute to his dreams for South Africa and its people,” says Dr Johan van Zyl, President and CEO of Toyota South Africa Motors.

Passionate about Port Elizabeth and definitely NOT packing for Perth. Alan's ethos is epitomised in the words of Nelson Mandela; "I have fought against white domination and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the idea of a democratic and free society. If need be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die." See more articles by Alan.
