Durban, 29 June 2026. The strategic collaboration between Hyundai Automotive South Africa and the SPAR Group aimed at supporting women sport, health and excellence, continues to grow in leaps and bounds following another successful hosting of the 10km SPAR Grand Prix at Kings Park Stadium, Durban yesterday.
Beyond running, the race is also known for rewarding excellence and active participation in sport. Thanks to the Hyundai sponsorship, one lucky participant gets to drive away with a brand-new Hyundai EXTER valued at R269,900. This time, Veloshni Naidoo was the lucky winner and expressed her gratitude.
“Thank you Hyundai Durban Central for blessing me with such an awesome vehicle,” she stated.
The 10km SPAR Grand Prix has become one of South Africa’s most recognisable sporting events, bringing together women from all walks of life through the shared values of health and wellness. The Hyundai EXTER car giveaway was one of the highlights of the race, which attracted sellout entry of 13 355 athletes who descended to Durban’s streets in celebration of women’s health, fitness and empowerment.
“The event gave us an awesome opportunity to engage potential customers in a relaxed approach versus the normal buzz of a dealership space. An even prouder moment was the presentation of our brand-new Hyundai EXTER to Veloshni,” said Shane De Jager, Dealer Principal at Hyundai Durban Central.
“We congratulate and wish her many unforgettable family memories."
The Hyundai EXTER is one Hyundai’s fastest-growing compact SUV offerings, combining affordability, practicality and contemporary styling. It embodies smart, stylish, practical mobility and makes it particularly attractive to women and young families looking for a versatile lifestyle vehicle.
