CMH Isuzu East Rand recently held a food collection for the Boksburg SPCA, as part of our Mandela Day Initiative.
Our original goal was to fill the bin of an Isuzu Double Cab, but soon enough we had to transfer everything to an Extended Cab, as the bin of the Double Cab just wasn’t big enough.
We were able to deliver wet and dry dog and cat food, blankets, toys and treats to Maggie Mudd, the manager of the Boksburg SPCA. They were most grateful and gave us a quick tour of their premises.
All the dogs and cats at the SPCA were in good health and well cared for. The kennels were clean and dry, and all the animals had jerseys on to protect from the cold.
Maggie has been working in animal welfare for 30 years and says if people would only sterilize their pets, there would be less strays and abandoned animals. The SPCA assists with sterilization at a reduced price.
If you are interested in adopting any of their animals, the adoption costs are R900 for a dog and R650 for cat. This fee includes sterilization, vaccination and microchipping of the animal.
If you are interested in donating to the SPCA, Maggie says puppy food is the most needed item. They have many puppies with them, and the puppies eat more often than the adult dogs.
CMH Isuzu East Rand will be holding regular collections for the SPCA, so keep your eye on our Facebook page.
A very big thank you must go the staff and management of CMH East Rand for their contributions, our Isuzu Specialists for driving the initiative and also to our customers SRT Electrical Wholesalers, SWS Security and Atall Mining and Cecile Gouws for their contributions to our collection.

Some exciting news that was recently announced the biggest contender in the SUV segment, The Isuzu MU-X will be coming to SA. The official launch date has not been announced yet but it is expected to arrive late this year and will hit the market big, as we know South Africans love and are loyal to the Isuzu brand, known for reliability, quality and appeal.
Isuzu Motors has begun official business independently in South Africa following the General Motors exit taking over operations and business in Port Elizabeth. In mid-February, Isuzu Motors confirmed the arrival of the MU-X SUV in the second half of the year.
Talking at the occasion which was held at assembling plant in Struandale Port Elizabeth, the President and Representative Director of Isuzu Motors of Japan Masanori Katayama said that Isuzu was focused on developing its business in South Africa.
Katayama says: “This is the first commercial and light commercial vehicle manufacturing operation outside of Japan in which we have acquired a 100% ownership. We are represented in 30 countries outside of Japan and successfully operate 47 manufacturing plants in these countries with joint venture partners.”
“Our decision with regards to South Africa demonstrates the confidence we have in this market and also is indicative of our longer-term view that South Africa will serve as an important base for our future growth on the African continent.”
More details on derivatives to follow as well as pricing and build specs closer to the launch.
CMH Isuzu Umhlanga is very excited to be able to offer a major contender in the SUV market that have loyal Isuzu fans queuing up.
With an array of Isuzu bakkies waiting for us to jump in and start the exciting 4×4 day we all set off on the course to the first challenge a small slightly wet incline with Marius van Vuuren and Grant McCleary from Isuzu there to supervise and guide the attendees. With a quick demo from Grant with Marius doing the breakdown of the dynamics the drivers were handed the keys to experience the capability and superior quality first hand.
After a few inclines, holes and rough terrain that displayed how the Diff-lock works, 4×4 gear selection, how and when to engage it and how it operates exactly, how Isuzu’s are specifically engineered to deal with South African terrain and the rigidness of the bakkies, we were off to take our bakkies for a dip in a river where we were shown how versatile the Isuzu bakkies really are from the Single Cab right up to the highest Double Cab. Isuzu bakkies have a wading depth of up to 600mm of water with ingenious design ensuring all electrical components and intakes are protected.
Some of the highlights of the Isuzu brand and manufacturing:
· Isuzu is the only brand that is locally tested and manufactured accordingly
· Isuzu has a much bigger radiator due to the harsh South African climate
· Isuzu tyres have been specifically selected after testing on South African roads for a smoother ride, grip and longevity
· Isuzu bakkies have some of the strongest panels which have been requested by the public
· Isuzu Warranty is comprehensive and ensures peace of mind
· Isuzu is here to stay and deepen its footing in the country
