GUEST - Rikus Blomerus, Chief Markering Officer at WeBuyCars

On the 11th of April last year, We Buy Cars officially made its debut on the main board of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange, a significant milestone not just for the company, but for the automotive and retail sectors in South Africa. Fast forward to today, and the company has shown remarkable growth, proving that there’s plenty of traction in the local vehicle trade space.

Tonight on KayaBiz, we reflect on that journey, from the rigorous regulatory work and mountain of paperwork that went into preparing for the listing, to the milestones achieved since ringing that opening bell.
