Johannesburg, South Africa – Following the recent opening of its South African manufacturing facility and continued investment in the region, Chery South Africa has announced an enhanced strategic partnership with Digicall Group to strengthen customer support, roadside assistance and aftersales services across South Africa and selected Southern African Development Community (SADC) markets.
