“Do you perhaps know why there were so many Jimnies in Clarens, and were you part of it?” was one of the first questions I was asked as soon as we entered the Lesotho border via the iconic (and 4×4-only) Sani Pass. It filled me with great joy to explain the reason behind this (let’s call this) Jimny take-over. Primarily, since I was part of a historic event, and hopefully, the first of many.

#JimnyGathering en Safari Town Festival hou Clarens feestelik
Suzuki Suid Afrika het onlangs die Vrystaatse dorp van Clarens goed wakker gemaak, met die onthaal van die eerste #JimnyGathering, sowel as die Safari Town Festival. Die plattelandse dorp, wat grens aan die “Golden Gate” Nasional Park, sowel as die Drakensberge, was die perfekte ligging om nie net soveel moontlik Jimnies bymekaar te bring nie, maar ook om ’n nuwe Wêreld Rekord te breuk.
Suzuki gears up for the #JimnyGathering
In 2022, Suzuki South Africa announced that it would host a Jimny gathering on the weekend surrounding Heritage Day (September 22nd to 24th, 2023).
