JOHANNESBURG, South Africa – To mark the launch of the all new Nissan Navara Stealth, Nissan has recently partnered up with 947 Radio and KFM in search of the 'Ultimate Nissan Navara Guy or Girl'. Well, the search is over!

Tebogo Molope, was named the Ultimate Navara guy from Johannesburg, and Bianca Van Biljon the Ultimate Navara girl from Cape Town. Molepe was nomination by his life-partner, stating that he not only always has a smile on his face and is a positive role-model for her son, but is also the proud owner of two cars (in his name) which he uses for Uber operations. Van Biljon was nominated by her fiancé, stating that there's nothing she can't handle with her larger than life attitude and generous heart.

A full day of challenges was hosted in both Johannesburg and Cape Town, to battle out for these impressive titles.

"The aim of the campaign was to look for someone who embodies the new Nissan Navara Stealth by turning mountains into molehills – and turning heads while they're doing it – just like the Nissan Navara Stealth. We are so pleased with the outcome of the campaign, as our two winners truly embody what we were looking for", says Kabelo Rabotho, Director Marketing, Nissan South Africa.

Molope and Van Biljon walked away with exciting prizes including R30 000 in cash, and all other shortlisted nominees received R5,000 each.

The two winners battled out against the likes of a volunteer fire fighter paramedic Massyn Janse van Vuuren, student and woodcutter in his spare-time Zane Matthews, bicep curler and paint ball champion Paul Kleanthous and car lover Lyle Nathaniel de Bruin.   

Modelled on the tough-as-nails Nissan Navara luxury edition, the new Nissan Navara Stealth combines distinctive, rugged aesthetics with superior performance.

The Nissan Navara Stealth builds on the Navara's name as a tough, working pickup to include a number of design updates that make it an even more rugged, redefined version of the iconic pickup.
