Mercedes-Benz South Africa CEO-designate resigns
Yves Herman/Reuters

Mercedes-Benz South Africa said CEO-designate Abey Kgotle has resigned for personal reasons, less than a month before he was set to take on the role.

Kgotle, who joined Mercedes-Benz South Africa in 2017, was named in June to succeed Andreas Brand as CEO of the German luxury car maker’s South African operations.

Brand, who was scheduled to relocate to Stuttgart on 30 November for a global production role overseeing seven Mercedes-Benz manufacturing plants, will now continue as chief executive “until further notice,” it said on Monday.
