A few mainstream carmakers are competing for a space to crack the introduction of electric vehicles in South Africa, but there is one newcomer that is likely to steal the show. Mandrolli is the newest name in the Electric Vehicle automotive space, founded by a women’s advocate, Tami Mase in 2018, making this the first EV brand in the automotive industry to be owned by women. Mandrolli Auto is moving forward to produce one of the super-exclusive EV hypercar prototypes in 2021, a rare and exclusive special edition, that will feature Madiba’s signature, making it the only car in the world so far to ever apply the world iconic Nelson Mandela’s signature on it, an initiative geared to drive electric mobility in Africa.
“The automotive industry is more than just dreaming up a car brand, putting all the ideas together and owning Intellectual Property, it requires enormous amount of research, passion, innovation, great partnerships and being an unapologetic trendsetter where digital transformation and electric revolution are concerned”, says Tami Mase. “We are blessed to team with Co-Founders Ndileka Mandela, B.Taylor, and their organizations, which give much life to the soul of Mandrolli. Through our partnership we can confidently say we are more ready than ever before to pioneer electric mobility in Africa and to finally drive the empowerment of women and youth agenda home, something that has been particularly extremely close to my heart. I am more excited about the support system from the Eastern Cape Honorable Premier Oscar Mabuyane. The future never seemed brighter for our country, for our continent and for our women,” she added.
“To say I’m excited about this ground-breaking initiative is an understatement. Women are breaking barriers and entering spaces they’ve never been before. This is yet another way of honoring my grandfather, giving hope to the youth and women to take up spaces they’ve been denied before. I truly look forward to this exciting partnership,” echoed Ndileka Mandela.
As the first grandchild of the iconic Nelson Mandela, she is pushing boundaries and taking advantage of spaces that create legacies which outlive multiples of generations.

Mandrolli is not just about car manufacturing but about getting our women and youth into the scarce skills industries and helping them hone and own skills of the future like engineering, technology, systems architecture, digital transformation.
