With the Springboks competing in some of the most thrilling test matches, Pollard needed reliable, top-tier performance off the field as well. That’s where SMG came in, partnering with him throughout the season. Whether traveling to training sessions or game-day events, SMG Lexus Umhlanga and SMG JLR Constantiaburg ensured Pollard and his family were supported with luxurious and high-performance vehicles.

Transforming Lives: SMG BMW Constantia and SMG Partner with U-Turn for “Night on the Street”

Posted on by Admin

On May 18, 2024, SMG BMW Constantia proudly partnered with U-Turn Homeless Ministries and SMG to host the impactful “Night on the Street” fundraiser. This event was designed to raise awareness and funds to address homelessness in our community, bringing together staff, volunteers, business leaders, and community members for a night of solidarity and support.

A Night of Compassion and Action

The evening began at the BMW Constantia dealership, where participants received welcome packs, including a warm beanie, comfort blanket, and water bottle. Throughout the night, participants heard moving stories from U-Turn champions, gaining a poignant glimpse into the realities faced by the homeless.

To emulate the daily challenges of the homeless, participants sorted plastic bottle tops to earn meal vouchers, reflecting the efforts needed to secure food and shelter at U-Turn service centres. This hands-on activity, coupled with the experience of sleeping on cardboard boxes even just for one night, offered a deeper understanding of the hardships faced by those living on the streets.

Fundraising Success and Community Support

Thanks to the collective effort, the event successfully raised R650k, with a target to reach R1 million. Generous sponsors contributed to the event’s success, providing meals, comfort items, and security to ensure a safe and meaningful experience for all involved.

Highlights included:

– Ryan Richens, CEO of Copper Collection – Patina Restaurant: Provided participant meals.

– Khalil Gangraker, Owner of Pickers Meat Market and Butcher’s Wife Restaurant: Breakfast sponsor.

– Joy Oldale, SUPAQUICK Diep River: Provided soup for participants and the shelter.

– Mr. Mohammed, OSMANS: Supplied comfort blankets and hot water bottles.

– Coin Security: Ensured safety throughout the event.

 

                                                        

 

Moving Forward Together

BMW Constantia and SMG are honoured to have been part of this transformative experience and remain committed to supporting U-Turn Homeless Ministries. This event was not just about raising funds but also about fostering a deeper understanding and empathy towards the homeless community.
We encourage everyone to continue supporting U-Turn’s initiatives. Whether through donations, volunteering, or spreading awareness, every effort counts. Together, we can make a significant difference in the lives of those affected by homelessness.

Bigger, faster, and now electrified. Introducing the new MINI Countryman.

Posted on by Admin

The largest, roomiest, most adventure-ready MINI Countryman was recently launched in South Africa.

Already one of the most popular models in the range, the new MINI Countryman is ready to win over more fans thanks to its distinctive, rugged looks and bold proportions. And now, for the first time ever, available as an all-electric model with a range of 462km.

The design of the new MINI Countryman is more revolutionary than ever before. Inspired by contemporary minimalism, the sleek lines of the exterior hide the increased size of this new model- which is 13cm longer and 8cm taller than the previous generation, but now with an optimized drag coefficient that sets a new record in this segment. And it wouldn’t be MINI without the extensive array of exterior style options available from Essential, Classic, Favoured or JCW Style, each comes complete with bespoke features and tailored design details.

Inside is equally distinctive with fine craftsmanship details defining the aesthetic of the interior. Premium materials, advanced technology and atmospheric mood lighting combine to create a highly cultivated driving experience. Once in, you probably won’t want to get out again.

Under the skin, the new MINI Countryman is just as revolutionary. Highlights of this powertrain range include the MINI Countryman S ALL4 with an output of 160kW and 360Nm of torque thanks to a smooth 2.0L four-cylinder turbo engine, and the new all-electric model with and output of 230kW- enough to take the Mini Countryman SE ALL4 from 0 to 100km/h in 5.6 seconds and reach a top speed of 180km/h.

Looking to electrify your adventures in the new MINI Countryman? Visit any one of our SMG MINI dealerships in KwaZulu-Natal Natal and the Western Cape.

SMG Cares: Empowering Student Entrepreneurs and Social Leaders

Posted on by Admin

At SMG, we believe in the power of collaboration and education to make a significant difference in the world. Our dedication to creating a lasting impact on people’s lives led us to partner with the Durban University of Technology (DUT) on a project named EmpowerEDpreneurs.

EmpowerEDpreneurs is a unique project that links academia, entrepreneurship, and social upliftment. It is designed to empower academic students, student entrepreneurs, and student social leaders by creating a collaborative environment where all parties can benefit from shared knowledge, skills, and resources.

Our involvement in the project included hosting an industry immersion experience at the SMG Grenadier and SMG BMW Umhlanga dealerships. Additionally, our marketing team, conducted a skills development workshop focusing on the customer journey. Our participants gained invaluable insights into marketing, branding, and project management, equipping them to make a significant impact in their education journeys.


The collaboration with SMG has had a profound and lasting impact on both the academic and community levels. DUT Lecturer and Project Leader, Yâchal du Plessis, remarked, “Our partnership with SMG exemplifies the positive, long-lasting impact that industry collaborations can have. Thanks to SMG’s involvement, the project received top honours and 1st place at the 2024 DUT Engagement Awards.”

Through the EmpowerEDpreneurs project, SMG Cares has embraced the principle of “help the few, to help the many.” This initiative has positively influenced over 150 academic students, 12 entrepreneurs, and 7 NGOs in the Durban and Pietermaritzburg communities. These beneficiaries are now creating job opportunities and providing care for those in need, thus amplifying the impact of this collaborative effort.
