ISUZU Motors South Africa (IMSAf) has appointed Marcia Noxolo Mayaba as the new department executive for dealer and business development.
Mayaba joins IMSAf with impressive experience within the automotive industry, which spans over two decades. She has worked across various fields, including truck rental, car rental, leasing and fleet management and has extensive retail experience, holding positions of general manager, dealer principal and franchise executive.
She was the first female in the South African motor industry to head a motor group listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange when she was appointed as the chief executive of Barloworld Motor Retail.
During her tenure with Barloworld, Mayaba also held the role of vice president of the National Automobile Dealers Association and was voted as one of the Top 100 most influential women in Africa – automotive supply chain last year.
“We are excited to have Marcia join the IMSAf team, with her wealth of experience, where she will be instrumental in bringing to life the IMSAf vision of transformation, high performance and results,” said Mongezi Hermans, Isuzu senior vice president human capital and corporate affairs.
Looking forward to the challenge, Mayaba said that the role is both exciting and challenging at the same time. “It aims at bringing about transformation, not only from a diversity and inclusion perspective, but also from the way we conduct business with our business partners and the dealer network into the future,” Mayaba said.
She completed a Gordon Institute of Business Science programme for management development, a diploma in public relations from Lesley Carnelley Business College and an advanced certificate in road transport obtained from the Rand Afrikaans University (R.A.U), now the University of Johannesburg. She has also completed dealer principal management training programmes both at OEM and retail levels and holds a Sewell’s dealership management qualification.
