Toyota South Africa Motors (TSAM) has appointed Springbok legend Faf de Klerk as its latest brand ambassador. The move strengthens the vehicle manufacturer’s long-standing association with South African rugby.

De Klerk, a two-time Rugby World Cup winner, recently joined the Toyota Cheetahs, a Bloemfontein-based franchise. This adds another layer to the partnership between the team and one of South Africa’s biggest automotive brands. The appointment aligns with Toyota’s continued support for local sports and its efforts to engage with rugby fans.

The collaboration highlights Toyota’s commitment to South African rugby and its strategic use of high-profile athletes to enhance brand visibility. De Klerk’s involvement is expected to boost the brand’s appeal among rugby enthusiasts and further solidify its presence in the local market.
