Rola Job Vacancy as Receptionist 2025: Offering a Permanent Position for Grade 12 Applicants

0 31 4 minutes read

About Rola
The origins of the Rola Group date back to April 1963, when Mr. M.H. (Kiewiet) Cloete, a farmer from Karasburg, Namibia, experienced an unexpected turn of events during his family’s annual holiday in Strand. During this visit, he struck up a friendship with the owner of Helderberg Motors and purchased a vehicle from him. What began as a simple transaction soon evolved into a business venture, as Mr. Cloete became a 50% shareholder in the modest dealership. Recognizing the opportunity, he went on to establish MH Cloete Enterprises, which began trading under the name Rola Motors.

After Mr. Cloete’s retirement in 1994, leadership passed to Laurie Claassen, who became the sole owner of Rola Motors. His sons later joined the family enterprise—Theo in 1986 and Marius in 1993—gradually preparing to take over the business. When Laurie retired in 2007, the brothers assumed full responsibility for the company, guiding it through a period of rapid growth and transformation into what is now the Rola Motor Group. From its small beginnings, the group has expanded into the acquisition and sale of both new and pre-owned vehicle brands, all while remaining committed to delivering the trusted Rola customer experience defined by integrity and quality.
