New OMODA C9 luxury flagship previewed
OMODA South Africa recently hosted an elegant soirée in Johannesburg to offer a sneak peek of its upcoming C9 luxury flagship model. Held at Langhams Lifestyle Estate in Fourways, the event showcased the upscale character of this eagerly awaited vehicle. The evening was organized in partnership with Absa, OMODA’s vehicle finance partner and one of Africa’s leading financial service providers.
Attendees were treated to a lavish evening complete with champagne, gourmet canapés, and artistically served oysters. High-profile guests, including celebrities such as Khosi Nkosi, Dr. Khanyile, Gogo Skhotheni, Khosi Twala, and Brian Temba, mingled with Absa representatives, media members, and government officials. Also in attendance was renowned visual artist Ramarutha Makoba, who engaged with guests in a unique artistic experience. Guests contributed to a collaborative art piece that Makoba will transform into a one-of-a-kind artwork. This piece will be unveiled during the official launch of the OMODA C9 in October 2024 and later auctioned for charity.
Shannon Gahagan, National Brand and Marketing Manager for OMODA & JAECOO South Africa, emphasized the alignment between the art collaboration and the C9’s design ethos, describing the new model as a “true masterpiece of automotive design.” Gahagan also highlighted OMODA’s commitment to giving back to the community through the proceeds of the charity auction.
