South Africa, 21 August 2025 — Stellantis proudly announces its support for the Ndlovu Youth Choir’s Heritage Tour, a nationwide celebration of South Africa’s cultural richness, resilience, and youth potential. The partnership reflects Stellantis’ global commitment to diversity, inclusion, and community engagement — principles that guide its mission to shape mobility with purpose.
Held during Heritage Month, the tour brings the choir’s uplifting message of hope and unity to communities across the country, including Groblersdal, Mbombela, Emalahleni, Potchefstroom, Rustenburg, Kimberley, Bloemfontein, and Sasolburg, culminating in a flagship performance at the Sun Arena in Tshwane on Heritage Day. Alongside concerts, the choir will lead outreach workshops in local schools, using music and the arts to foster cross-cultural dialogue and youth development.
“Our collaboration with the Ndlovu Youth Choir is rooted in shared values,” said Deidre Du Plessis, Head of Corporate Communications at Stellantis South Africa. “We believe in the power of culture to connect communities and inspire change. Supporting this tour is part of our commitment to empowering young voices and celebrating the diversity that defines South Africa.”
Since its founding in 2009, the Ndlovu Youth Choir has become a global symbol of South African excellence, yet its heart remains in the community. Stellantis is proud to support the tour, ensuring the choir travels safely and comfortably in a Citroën C3 and Opel Zafira — vehicles designed for versatility, accessibility, and connection.
“For us, the Heritage Tour is more than just a series of concerts,” said Ralf Schmitt, Director of the Ndlovu Youth Choir. “It’s about connecting with people where they live, sharing our culture, and celebrating the incredible resilience and beauty of South Africa. Taking a world-class production across the country is a complex operation that wouldn’t be possible without Stellantis’ support.”
The tour invites audiences of all ages to sing, dance, and celebrate the vibrant tapestry of South African heritage. For Stellantis, the partnership reinforces its role not just as an automaker, but as a committed partner in building community and fostering the future.
The Ndlovu Youth Choir encourages South Africans to join the celebration: “If you see our Stellantis-branded vehicles in your town, come say hello. Let’s sing, dance, and celebrate who we are — together.”
