SeSotho ke seJapane: Electric Windows

Description (View/Hide)
ISUZU Trucks may be born from Japanese engineering, but they’ve been built tough for South African roads. Locally assembled, reliable, and ready for our realities.

That mix of worlds inspired “seSotho ke seJapan”, a radio campaign that fused Sesotho and Japanese anime vibes. Think over-the-top samurai-style delivery, dramatic sound effects, and battles that revealed truck features in hilarious, unforgettable ways. A mash-up that showed ISUZU may be Japanese by origin, but it’s proudly at home in Mzansi.
