A new era in South African motorsport has begun, with Toyota Gazoo Racing SA and SVR unveiling their state-of-the-art Motorsport Hub in Kyalami., Midrand.
Built in under nine months, the world-class 12,500 square metre facility sets a new benchmark in local and international rally-raid racing – offering space to prepare up to 20 race cars under one roof.
The hub is now home to TGRSA’s technical teams and race vehicles, and was designed with innovation and continuous improvement at its core.
Team Principal Shameer Variawa says the new base represents a dream turned reality, while Toyota SA describes it as the beginning of an exciting new chapter in motorsport excellence.

In a story of strength and spirit, 100-year-old WWII veteran Andrew Bostinto has been named the world’s oldest bodybuilder, breaking records and stereotypes.
Recognised by the US National Gym Association—which he founded in 1979—Bostinto continues to inspire as the “godfather of natural bodybuilding”.
He clinched the title after competing in a men’s physique contest, surpassing the previous record held by a 90-year-old.
Celebrated for his service, fitness legacy, and commitment to drug-free sport, Bostinto is now a symbol of resilience, healthy ageing, and lifelong passion.

The Sustainable Infrastructure Development Symposium is kicking off in Cape Town, bringing together government leaders, industry experts, and key decision-makers to fast-track South Africa’s infrastructure goals.
Now in its fourth year, the conference focuses on unlocking investment and improving coordination on major infrastructure projects – seen as vital to economic recovery, job creation, and better service delivery.
It comes as government doubles down on its commitment to turning the country into a construction hub.
In his recent Budget Speech, Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana announced that around R1-trillion will be invested in infrastructure development over the next few years.
