The Isuzu Foundation is a partnership between Isuzu Motors South Africa and its Dealer Network. For every Isuzu pick-up, truck or Mu-X sold to a customer, Isuzu and its dealers will contribute equally to the Isuzu Foundation.
Isuzu Department Executive, Marcia Mayaba (Dealer & Business Development South African Customs Union Markets says: “Isuzu has seen the emotional impact of the floods on our communities, it has been devastating and cannot be ignored. The persistent heavy rains have wreaked havoc forcing over 1 500 adults and children to take shelter at community halls in Komani.”
The Isuzu Foundation has heeded the call and appeal made by disaster management teams, local Dealership, Jacksons Isuzu, the local municipality and Komani community members. The R100 000 donation will offer aid to the displaced families most affected, providing necessities such as food, clothing, bedding and toiletries.
