“We are extremely pleased to hand over these customised wheelchairs to learners at Lonwabo School. We know that they represent so much more. They bring hope, aid mobility and represent strength,” says ISUZU Motors South Africa’s Corporate and Public Affairs Department Executive, Mr Lebogang Makoloi.
