Winning a Suzuki Eeco and R25,000 in the Suzuki Eeco Cashbuild Competition changed everything for Mr. Mofokeng, an entrepreneur from Kroonstad. From overcoming business challenges to uplifting his family, his inspiring journey highlights how Suzuki supports entrepreneurs in achieving their dreams.
At Suzuki Auto SA, we believe in creating vehicles that can transform lives. This belief came to life in Kroonstad when Mr. Mofokeng won a brand-new Suzuki Eeco and R25,000 in the Suzuki Eeco Cashbuild Competition. His journey is one of perseverance, gratitude, and the power of a helping hand.
This competition was a beacon of hope for Mr. Mofokeng, a hardworking entrepreneur in the construction industry.
“I first heard about it from Cashbuild in Kroonstad,” he recalls.
Motivated by the potential to change his business’s future, he entered the competition, daring to dream big.
When the news came that he had won, disbelief turned into sheer joy.
“I was so excited. I really didn’t believe it was true—it felt like I was dreaming in broad daylight,” he says.
Before this win, Mr. Mofokeng faced significant challenges in his construction business. Transporting machinery parts meant renting trucks or bakkies, an expensive necessity that drained resources and limited his business growth. The Suzuki Eeco, however, has changed everything.
“It impacted my construction company highly because I now have transport that I can use for delivering parts for machinery. At the moment, I’m able to save money because I’m not renting bakkies anymore,” he shares.
The benefits extended beyond his business. The additional cash prize of R25,000 allowed him to make much-needed renovations to his family home.
“It means a lot to myself and my family. The cash I won really benefited us a lot,” he says.
The Suzuki Eeco has proven to be a perfect partner for entrepreneurs like Mr. Mofokeng. Designed with practicality and efficiency in mind, the Eeco is versatile enough to handle both business and personal needs. Its spacious interior offers ample room for transporting goods or equipment, making it a valuable asset for small business owners. Additionally, the Eeco’s reliability and fuel efficiency means lower running costs—a game-changer for entrepreneurs looking to maximise their budgets.
Beyond its functionality, the Eeco is a reminder of what’s possible when businesses have the right tools. For Mr. Mofokeng, it has opened doors to growth, providing a tough, reliable means of transport. Entrepreneurs in similar industries, or even those running delivery services or start-ups, can benefit from a vehicle like the Eeco, which is built to support their ambitions.
When asked about the competition’s impact, Mr. Mofokeng expressed his appreciation.
“I wish this could be something they do every year to change individuals’ lives and improve small businesses,” he says.
He also offered advice for others striving to achieve their goals:
“As a person, you need to work with passion to achieve life goals. Be constructive with what you want to achieve and always stay positive.”
Mr. Mofokeng’s story is a testament to Suzuki’s dedication to supporting its customers and empowering emerging entrepreneurs. The Suzuki Eeco is more than just a vehicle—it’s a partner in helping people achieve their dreams!
