DigiCars Group has reinforced its position as one of South Africa’s leading automotive retail groups after securing multiple top honours at the prestigious ABSA Golden Partner Awards, which took place in Johannesburg this past weekend.
The Group achieved standout recognition across its dealership network, with:
- OMODA & JAECOO Sandton awarded #1 Medium Category Franchise Dealer
- Chery Sandton awarded #1 Large Category Franchise Dealer
- Chery Northcliff awarded 2nd Place Large Category Franchise Dealer
The recognition further strengthens the Group’s growing reputation within the South African automotive sector and follows Chery Northcliff previously being awarded WesBank Dealer of the Year earlier this year, reinforcing the dealership’s consistent performance and industry standing.
According to Dawood Olgar, the Group’s CEO, the awards reflect the strength of the Group’s people, culture, and long-term focus on customer experience.
“To receive this level of recognition from ABSA is incredibly meaningful for our Group. These awards reflect the consistency of our teams, the standards we uphold across our dealerships, and the work being done every day to deliver exceptional experiences to our customers.”
Olgar said the achievements are the result of disciplined execution and strong leadership across the Group’s growing dealership network.
“We are extremely proud of our teams and management structures across the Group. Awards like these are earned through trust, commitment, consistency, and a culture that continuously pushes for excellence.”
He added that strong relationships with key financial institutions remain an important part of the Group’s continued growth and success.
“Strategic banking partnerships play a critical role in the automotive industry, and we value the confidence and support that institutions like ABSA continue to place in our dealerships. Recognition like this strengthens our drive to keep raising the bar.”
As DigiCars Group continues expanding its national footprint, the latest accolades further position the business as one of South Africa’s most recognised and rapidly evolving automotive retail groups.
“Every recognition adds to the credibility and momentum of the Group,” said Olgar. “We are building a modern, high-performance automotive business that is focused on people, service excellence, and long-term growth. This recognition motivates us to continue pushing forward.”
