A portion of the proceeds will be going to the Kutlwanong Centre for Maths, Science and Technology, a non-profit organisation dedicated to enhancing the quality of mathematics and physical science education among South African youth, particularly in township schools and rural areas to enable them to pursue STEM-related careers.

Founded in 2005, Kutlwanong is focused on nurturing a talent pool of professionals pursuing careers in critical fields such as commerce, engineering, science, mining, technology, and mathematics.

“This extraordinary donation by Audi South Africa means so much,” says Tumelo Mabitsela, CEO of Kutlwanong.

“The funds we’ve received will go toward further supporting our work to assist students to pursue STEM careers. This will ensure that South African youth participate in, and are equipped for, the Fourth Industrial Revolution.”

“The RS 6 Avant GT is an iconic vehicle that embodies the soul of Audi,” says Sascha Sauer, head of Audi South Africa.

“This car showcases meticulous craftsmanship and a design inspired by the legendary 1989 Audi 90 Quattro IMSA GTO race car, telling a story of rich heritage and engineering prowess.

“Our support for Kutlwanong aligns perfectly with Audi’s commitment to progress,” adds Sauer. “By investing in the next generation of inventors, scientists and engineers, we ensure that the legacy of innovation continues,” says Sauer.
