Renault South Africa has signed up to become the official vehicle supplier for The Blood Brothers Testimonial™, an initiative that has been launched to recognise and reward SA rugby supremos Victor Matfield and Bakkies Botha for their longstanding service to the game of rugby during their distinguished careers.
Matfield and Botha have each just taken delivery of a brand new Renault Koleos 4×4 dCi which will see them riding high as they attend and participate in a schedule of Blood Brothers Testimonial™ fundraising events in aid of their chosen causes, the Walter Sisulu Paediatric Cardiac Foundation and the Red Cross Children’s Hospital Trust.
“We feel privileged to be playing a role in The Blood Brothers Testimonial™ initiative and to assist Victor and Bakkies with their pledges to these two most deserving causes,” says Xavier Gobille, Managing Director of Renault South Africa. “Renault SA identifies with their drive and passion for their work and with that their desire to support needs of South Africa’s children. Just over 10 years ago, Renault co-founded the Valued Citizens Initiative, its aim to create a values-driven youth and an ethical community in South African schools.”
A compact sports utility vehicle, Koleos is Renault’s first true 4×4 crossover and its intuitive design and ingenious modularity bring together the best features of an MPV and the 4WD transmission capabilities of a 4×4.
Available in full-time all-wheel drive and front-wheel drive variants, the Koleos provides a first-class motoring experience for driver and passengers alike. Spacious seating, pliant suspension, intuitive ergonomics and intelligent practicality with i-transmission technology make for a benchmark motoring experience.
“Like Victor and Bakkies, the Renault Koleos is not afraid to tackle the rough stuff so both of them should both feel right at home behind the wheel!” concludes Gobille.
