The iconic Mustang Midlands Tour is set to rev its engines across the picturesque landscapes of South Africa from 30th April to 4th May 2025. Powered by MotorSport Promoters in partnership with Ford Lazarus, Motul, Maizey, Avery Dennison, and Nyala Paraiso, this extraordinary event invites Mustang owners and enthusiasts to undertake a thrilling journey uniting purpose and social impact with adventure.
Last year the organisers joined forces with the Sons of Thunder outreach programme and took Mustang owners on an epic adventure into Mozambique. This year’s Midlands Tour promises a unique experience, driving through three provinces—Gauteng, Free State, and KwaZulu-Natal—and covering a spectacular 1,800 km across nine towns. Participants will delight in stunning scenery while creating change and making a social impact for those in need.
Saydi Barbosa of MotorSport Promoters shared, “The Midlands Tour isn’t merely a road trip; it’s a journey with a mission. We aim to create unforgettable memories while positively impacting the communities we pass through.”
This tour will once again support the Sons of Thunder Mustang Community outreach programme and highlights include visits to community projects, where each mile presents opportunities to contribute and uplift those in need. Participants will deliver essential resources to select organisations, such as the Ya Kgathalla Education and Youth Project in Witsieshoek, Clouds of Hope in Underberg, and Servings of Grace in Umhlanga, among others.
“Partnering with this initiative is a natural fit for Motul. It reflects our passion for performance, our love of the open road, and our commitment to making a positive difference in the communities we touch. We’re proud to support a tour that brings people together through both adventure and meaningful impact,” said Mercia Jansen from Motul, expressing enthusiasm about the partnership and its purpose.
From the Jacaranda-lined streets of Pretoria to the gorgeous vistas in Phuthadijhaba (Witsieshoek), onto the splendour of the Underberg, then the Umhlanga coastline, and finally onto the birder’s paradise of Wakkerstroom before looping home, the Mustang Midlands Tour is more than just an automotive gathering—it’s a celebration of purpose-driven touring and sightseeing.
Embark on an unforgettable journey, where comfortable stays at Witsieshoek Mountain Lodge, Cedar Gardens B&B, Protea Hotel Marriott, and Wetlands Game Lodge are complemented by delicious culinary experiences and an itinerary brimming with enriching activities. Each day offers opportunities for camaraderie, discovery, and making a lasting difference.
Tony Barbosa from MotorSport Promoters added, “The combination of spectacular rides, compelling landscapes, and community engagement is an extraordinary blend. This event is a must for passionate Mustang car owners eager to drive with a purpose.”

People as disparate as Malcolm X and John D. Rockefeller both spoke to the power and importance of public image. Since PR is something that people who are so fundamentally different can agree on, you know there must be something fundamentally important about it. If you \’re still not convinced that Public Relations is absolutely critical to the success of your business, you\’ll change your mind after reading this selection of quotes.

We who preach the gospel must not think of ourselves as Public Relations agents sent to establish good will between Christ and the world. We must not imagine ourselves commissioned to make Christ acceptable to big business, the press, the world of sports or modern education. We are not diplomats but prophets, and our message is not a compromise but an ultimatum. – Aiden Wilson Tozer
