Rola Vehicle Sales Cadet Traineeship 2026: Welcoming Applicants with Grade 12 Qualification

admin Comments 0 Comment

About Rola
The history of the Rola Group can be traced back to April 1963, when Mr. M.H. (Kiewiet) Cloete, a farmer from Karasburg, Namibia, encountered an unexpected business opportunity during his family’s annual holiday in Strand. While visiting the area, he formed a friendship with the owner of Helderberg Motors and purchased a vehicle from the dealership. What initially began as a straightforward vehicle purchase gradually developed into a business partnership, ultimately leading to Mr. Cloete acquiring a 50% shareholding in the dealership.

In 1994, after Mr. Cloete retired, ownership and management of the business were entrusted to Laurie Claassen, who assumed sole ownership of Rola Motors. As the company expanded, the next generation became actively involved in the family business, with Theo joining in 1986 and Marius following in 1993. Over time, both took on progressively greater leadership responsibilities and made significant contributions to the continued growth and success of the company.
