Braam Smit new General<br />

Manager at Ducati South<br />

Africa<br />

The winds of change have been blowing<br />

at Ducati during this Covid 19 shut down,<br />

and one of the most notable is the appointment<br />

of Braam Smith to the General<br />

Manager position. Braam is known for<br />

is absolute passion for all things two<br />

wheels although we here at the Super-<br />

Bike office know his blood has always<br />

been BMW blue. He has in fact worked for<br />

that brand for the last 19 years. Speaking<br />

to the man his feeling was that the timing<br />

for where he is in his life is spot on and<br />

that he is up for the challenge. Exciting<br />

news is that they are close to finalising a<br />

premises in Cape Town as well so things<br />

are looking good for Ducati.<br />

On a side note, Braam’s reputation for<br />

customer satisfaction and relationship<br />

building within the biking world precedes<br />

him, he is a straight up bloke with many<br />

deals done on a hand shake, much like<br />

boss man Jos Matthysen. The future is<br />

looking bright for Ducati and these tw<br />

make a formidable team.<br />

Two more appointments are Inge<br />

Scheepers for all Ducati events and<br />

marketing exercises and Michael Powell<br />

who will concentrate on 2nd hand motorcycles<br />

at World of Motorcycles which<br />

is based on the 2nd and 3rd floors of the<br />

same premises in Centurion.
