The integration of brands and on-going dealer network expansion are continuing at Stellantis South Africa. The latest expansion is to the existing Williams Hunt facility in The Glen in Gauteng to add the Jeep brand to the facility, complementing the current offering across the Peugeot, Citroën and Opel ranges.
The expansion continues to bolster accessibility to the Jeep range in the south of Johannesburg. Dealer network development remains a key strategic focus for Stellantis in support of the group’s ambitious plans as one of the largest importers in the South African motor industry, it says.
Williams Hunt is a stalwart of the South African retail motor industry, with a legacy stretching back to 1903 in the dusty streets of gold rush Johannesburg. From that humble bicycle dealership, the group has become one of the country’s largest national dealers with representation countrywide.
“We are always excited to amplify successful relationships with existing dealers in our network,” says Leslie Ramsoomar, Managing Director of Stellantis South Africa. “Williams Hunt is firmly entrenched in our approach to customers and has enviable success in supporting our constant drive for improved customer satisfaction.”
Leading the team at Williams Hunt The Glen is Dealer Manager, Jannie Stroh. “We are very excited about our collaboration with Stellantis and the recently acquired Jeep franchise,” says Jannie. “We aim to keep our staff highly motivated and trained to ensure excellent and efficient service in order to cultivate the Williams Hunt culture of creating customers for life.”
The Jeep range joins an award-winning team, the dealership being named by Stellantis as its Citroën Dealer of the Year for 2022.
Williams Hunt The Glen is committed to the philosophy that “people do business with people” and looks forward to welcoming Jeep customers into its comfortable waiting areas with complimentary Wi-Fi and refreshments.

The South African motor industry has lost one of its longstanding business figures following the passing of Jebb McIntosh, the group chief executive of Combined Motor Holdings (CMH), on Monday, 2 November 2026.
“South Africa’s automotive industry has been AGOA’s largest user, but for the sector the preference has already been largely overridden by the 25% Section 232 tariffs applied on vehicles and components. Losing AGOA adds a further cost to an industry that has already absorbed a significant shock.”
