Episode 4 of TopGear South Africa’s Star in a Reasonably Priced Car is here, and we’re shaking things up in the studio. This time, it’s not a celebrity from the stage or screen, but a star of the boardroom: Wesbank CEO Ghana Msibi. Join us as Ghana unpacks the automotive world from a financial perspective, while also showing off his petrol-head side behind the wheel. He knows how to climb the corporate ladder, but can he climb our TopGear SA lap time board in the Suzuki Swift? Hosted by Jason Goliath, this brand-new TopGear SA series puts South Africa’s comedians, CEOs, TV stars, and more behind the wheel of a lightly modified Suzuki Swift 1.2 GL equipped only with a roll cage, racing seat, and harness. Everything else? 100% stock. Who should take on the lap challenge next? Drop your suggestions in the video comments!
