Episode 8: Msizi James, Star in a Reasonably Priced Car South Africa

Msizi James gets strapped into the TopGear South Africa Suzuki Swift in Episode 8 of Star in a Reasonably Priced Car. Veteran broadcaster, farmer, and all-round gentleman, Msizi brings calm energy and a big heart to the hot seat. These days, Saturdays aren’t for the boys anymore, they’re for his boy, and that grounded perspective makes this one of the most sincere drives of the season. Hosted by Jason Goliath, the Star in a Reasonably Priced Car is TopGear South Africa’s star lit video series, and the car in question is none other than the newest Suzuki Swift 1,2 GL derivative. The TopGear SA team has simply added a roll cage to the frame as well as a racing seat and harness, but other than that, the car is a standard Suzuki Swift.

With years of radio experience, a steady hand honed on the tractor seats, and a naturally good spirit, Msizi brings a smooth, considered approach to the lap. But does calm translate to quick?
