Grace Mondlana Announced as new GWM South Africa Brand Ambassador

Grace, a fresh and influential voice in South Africa’s modern urban lifestyle space, brings an energy and perspective that perfectly align with GWM’s mission to grow its presence in the country. This partnership follows the success of her previous work with the HAVAL Jolion, where she translated the joy of driving into a relatable, lifestyle-driven story.

In this new chapter, she will front a series of dynamic campaigns and experiences aimed at connecting GWM with a new generation of drivers.

This announcement comes as GWM celebrates 18 years in South Africa — nearly two decades of growth, innovation and expansion. From its beginnings as a challenger brand, GWM has grown into a key player with more than 100 dealerships nationwide and a product line designed to meet the needs of South African drivers. The brand is now focused on deepening its local roots and aligning with voices that reflect how people are living, moving and shaping the future.

“Grace lives the kind of balance we build cars for — smart, stylish and always ready for adventure,” says Floyd Ramabulana, Head of Marketing at GWM SA. “We know exactly where we’re headed as a brand, and this partnership shows our commitment to staying authentic and responsive to the way people live today.”

The partnership not only marks GWM’s 18-year journey but also celebrates Grace’s influence, as the brand continues to weave itself into lifestyle, design and culture through collaborations with people who define aspiration in today’s world.

The first campaign under this partnership will spotlight the newly launched HAVAL H6 facelift — sleeker, more powerful and more intelligent than ever. With refined styling, advanced technology, and powerful drivetrain options — including Petrol Turbo and Dedicated Hybrid Technology (DHT) — the H6 is designed to move both families and individuals forward in comfort, confidence and style.

“I’ve always said I only work with brands that fit naturally into my life, and GWM is one of them,” says Mondlana. “Their cars are stylish, spacious, and work perfectly for both my day-to-day needs and my adventure trips. I’m excited to be part of the brand’s growing network of creator partners.”
