Lepas South Africa has announced it has partnered with the Black Coffee Foundation to bolster youth empowerment, education, and community development in South Africa.

The core objective of Lepas SA’s partnership with the Black Coffee Foundation is to support the work the latter is already doing. The local arm of the Chinese marque will provide vehicles to the foundation in order to support its efforts of delivering educational content and mentorship needs, and whichever other programmes are needed to help communities develop across SA.

Country Director of Lepas SA, Luke Cao, explained, “Our goal is simple. We want to enable the foundation to reach more communities, support more young people, and extend the impact of the incredible work it already does.”

“We are deeply committed to uplifting young people and communities across South Africa. Education, opportunity, and empowerment are at the heart of what we do,” said Lungile Maphumulo, CEO of Black Coffee Foundation. “This partnership with Lepas helps extend our reach and impact, enabling us to support more young people in practical and sustainable ways.”

Jay Jay Botes, General Manager of Lepas SA, added, “South Africa is a country full of energy, ambition, and creativity. It is the perfect market for Lepas, a brand that values intelligence, purpose, and presence. But we are not just here to launch vehicles. We want to contribute in a meaningful way to communities where we operate”.

As a reminder, Lepas launched its first local product – the L4, which we sampled at the local launch – in March 2026. However, as we highlighted in Every Chinese car confirmed for SA in 2026, this Chery sub-brand will also introduce two additional models – the L6 and L8 – to our market.
