Pretoria, 7 July 2020 – Land Rover will celebrate the arrival of the New Defender in South Africa with a 110-minute special online streaming event promising informative discussions, interesting news and in depth looks at an icon reimagined for the 21st century.
Xola Ntshinga has been enlisted to lead the show and the well-known sports presenter will take viewers on a journey through various segments exploring the Defender’s historical importance and its rebirth as an adventure vehicle for the digital generation.
Jaguar Land Rover South Africa and sub-Sahara Africa Managing Director Richard Gouverneur will introduce the New Defender to Africa by outlining some key design elements and features, and will be backed up on screen by guest appearances from some notable Land Rover Ambassadors.
Bryan Habana, who fell in love with the New Defender when he witnessed it driving onto the field after the Springboks took the Rugby World Cup final in Japan last year, will join the discussion and dig deep into the vehicle’s advanced technologies.
Humanitarian adventurers Kingsley and Ross Holgate share a deep love for Defender, having owned 15 of them since the early 1970s.

The father and son will weigh in on the New Defender’s capabilities, share some first impressions and tell some fascinating stories about their experiences with previous Defenders on many incredible expeditions.
The screening will be divided into five topics covering heritage, design, tech, capability and purpose, and each segment will offer numerous interviews, short films and inserts to paint a complete picture for viewers on where the New Defender came from, how it was developed and what it will offer customers in Africa.
