JOVIAL RANTAO
WHEN talent meets horsepower, magic happens on South Africa’s highways
Picture this: A gleaming Glacier White SUV pulls up to a packed venue, its panoramic sunroof catching the stage lights as fans gather around. Out steps Moshe Kgasoane – better known as Mo-T, the trumpet virtuoso whose soulful melodies have captivated audiences across Africa as part of the legendary house trio Mi Casa.
But tonight, it’s not just his music that’s turning heads – it’s his ride.
The award-winning musician has found his perfect road companion in the Jetour X70 Plus, and the chemistry is undeniable. “Now that’s a real powerhouse,” Mo-T beams, his enthusiasm as infectious as his trumpet solos. The seven-seater SUV, which burst onto the South African scene nearly a year ago, has become more than just transportation – it’s become part of his artistic expression.
“It has such a bold look, and its design is striking and beautifully executed, giving it an undeniable presence on the road,” he explains, running his hand along the vehicle’s sculpted lines. For an artist who lives his life in the spotlight, the X70 Plus delivers that same commanding presence whether he’s pulling up to a recording studio in Johannesburg or arriving at a beachfront festival in Durban.
Family First, Adventure Always
Behind the glitz and glamour of the entertainment industry beats the heart of a devoted father of three. Mo-T’s first major road test with his new Jetour wasn’t to a concert venue – it was a family holiday to Ballito for his daughter’s birthday, a journey that would prove the X70 Plus is as comfortable with car seats and snacks as it is with sound equipment and stage gear.
“What a beautiful drive – effortless handling, comfortable, and so smooth that I never once felt tired,” Mo-T recalls with a smile. “And wow, it just turns so many heads, people love it!” The coastal highways of KwaZulu-Natal became the backdrop for precious family memories, with his children discovering the joy of the vehicle’s seven-seater configuration – particularly that coveted back row that’s sparked more than a few sibling negotiations.
The panoramic sunroof has become a family favorite too, transforming ordinary drives into mini-adventures where the journey becomes as exciting as the destination.
From Dawn to Spotlight: A Day in the Fast Lane
Mo-T’s days unfold like a perfectly orchestrated composition – school runs at dawn, creative sessions in the studio, meetings across the city, and rehearsals that stretch into the evening. It’s a rhythm that demands a vehicle capable of keeping pace with both his professional ambitions and family commitments.
“From there, it’s off to meetings, time in the studio, and rehearsals for upcoming shows with Mi Casa, as well as for my live shows. There’s never a dull moment; there’s always something to do,” he says. The X70 Plus has seamlessly woven itself into this tapestry of creativity and responsibility, proving that luxury doesn’t have to come at the expense of practicality.
Whether navigating the urban jungle of Gauteng or venturing onto the dusty festival circuits that dot the South African landscape, the X70 Plus has proven its mettle in every environment Mo-T’s career demands.
“From a performance perspective, it’s outstanding,” he emphasizes. “Whether I’m heading to different festivals, navigating gravel roads, or tackling muddy tracks, the X70 Plus handles it all with ease. I travel to my shows with complete confidence, knowing the car has incredible power, responds effortlessly, and does exactly what I need it to do.”
This isn’t just about getting from point A to point B – it’s about arriving with the confidence and style that befits an artist of Mo-T’s caliber, whether the destination is a intimate jazz club or a massive outdoor festival. As Mo-T looks toward the horizon, his calendar gleams with exciting possibilities. Mi Casa continues to push creative boundaries, while his solo project Mo-T Live opens new chapters in his artistic journey. The crown jewel of upcoming performances? The prestigious Starlight Classic, where Mo-T will perform alongside an 80-piece orchestra – a musical collaboration as sophisticated and impressive as his choice in vehicles.
“There’s a lot happening: plenty of travel, countless hours in the studio, and non-stop music creation,” he shares, his eyes lighting up with the same passion that fuels his performances. “One of the big highlights we’re preparing for is the Starlight Classic, where we’ll be performing with an 80-piece orchestra and rehearsals are already underway, and I can’t wait. And of course, I’m looking forward to arriving in style in my Jetour X70 Plus, a truly amazing car.”
In an industry where image often comes with an astronomical price tag, the Jetour X70 Plus rewrites the rules. Starting at R454,900 for the Momentum model and R484,900 for the Deluxe variant, it delivers premium luxury that doesn’t require a record deal to afford.
This philosophy aligns perfectly with Mo-T’s own approach to his craft – authentic, accessible, yet undeniably excellent. The X70 Plus combines sophisticated design with adventure-ready capability and cutting-edge technology, creating a vehicle that transitions effortlessly from school pickup duty to red carpet arrivals.
Living by the Horn, Driving by Design
Mo-T’s journey – both musical and automotive – embodies the spirit of modern South African success: authentic, dynamic, and unapologetically ambitious. With his soulful trumpet continuing to leave its mark on local and international stages, he approaches each day as a fresh opportunity to create, perform, and inspire.
In the Jetour X70 Plus, he’s found not just a vehicle, but a partner in that journey – one that matches his energy, supports his family, and arrives at every destination ready to make a statement.
After all, when your life is your art and the road is your stage, you need a co-star that can keep up with every note, every mile, and every moment of the beautiful symphony that is life in motion.
