In the midst of the African savannah lies a dealership that embodies the spirit of Toyota. Halfway Toyota Chobe, located in the northern tourist village of Botswana, has been awarded the coveted 2022 Toyota Dealer of the Year award for their outstanding commitment to excellence and unparalleled customer service. Led by Kefemetswe Ntshwabi, Halfway Toyota Chobe is a dealership that truly understands the value of family. From their humble beginnings, they have worked tirelessly to create a culture of innovation, dedication, and teamwork. Their customers are considered an integral part of this family, and it shows in the level of care and attention they receive. But what truly sets Halfway Toyota Chobe apart is their unique location. Surrounded by the famed Big 5 game, it is not uncommon to see a leopard or buffalo wandering through the village and often inspecting the latest models. It is a testament to the dealership's commitment to the community and the environment, and a reminder of the importance of responsible stewardship. Leon Theron, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Toyota South Africa Motors, had this to say about Halfway Toyota Chobe's achievement: "It is true that dynamite comes in small packages. Congratulations Kefemetswe and thank you for your dedication to the Toyota brand." But Halfway Toyota Chobe was not the only dealership to be celebrated on the night. Christopher Jones of Lexus Fourways was awarded the Lexus Dealer of the Year award for the third consecutive year, while Robert Pringle of Hino Isando was recognized as the Hino Dealer of the Year for the first time. These outstanding dealers represent the very best of the Toyota family, and their achievements serve as a reminder of the power of collaboration and the importance of dedication. As the African proverb says, "if you want to go far, go together." With dealerships like Halfway Toyota Chobe, Lexus Fourways, and Hino Isando leading the way, the future looks bright for the Toyota brand.
