Charles Rieckhoff, eThekwini Toyota’s managing director, said they collaborated with amazing businesses that offer many services that men enjoy, from extreme sports to entertainment.
“At the same time, we wanted to help these businesses and customers to network and grow within our communities.
“We understand the needs of our community are not charging anyone to be part of the expo, this is just a way of giving back to the community.” he said.
Rieckhoff mentioned that one of the companies, that was part of the expo, saw its factory burnt down during the July unrest.
“As proud South Africans, and as a family-owned business, we pride ourselves on participating in community-based programmes that inspire and uplift society and encourage everyone to support their local businesses. Thekwini Motor Group was founded to bring people together, build strong relationships and make an impact in our communities,” he added.
