LSM Distributors (Pty) Ltd, trading as Porsche Centre South Africa, with Toby Venter at the helm, has been the authorised importer for Porsche cars in South Africa for the past ten years.

In this time Venter and his team have grown the Porsche brand significantly, delivering over 2 000 new Porsches into the market.

Venter's hands-on experience within the automotive industry and racing circles over the past 20 years has gained him a unique and diverse knowledge and understanding of the Porsche brand.

This commitment by Hlongwane Consulting will be a significant boost to the Porsche brand in South Africa and is in keeping with the worldwide vision of Porsche AG to see the continued growth and expansion of the marque.
