Patients of Helderberg Hospice are being driven to and from medical facilities by Hyundai Somerset West, which has built a longstanding relationship with the palliative care organisation under Dealer Principal Wolf Kreft. For people facing serious illness, reliable transport can be essential to reaching appointments, maintaining continuity of care and preserving dignity.
Helderberg Hospice and its patients
The hospice has 52 full-time staff and is supported by 160 volunteers. It provides palliative care to patients and families affected by life-threatening illnesses, including cancer, organ failure and HIV/AIDS, with its work focused on improving quality of life.
Hyundai vehicles used for patient transport
The dealership has provided the Hyundai STARIA, EXTER, H100 and GRAND i10 to carry patients, at no cost to them. The aim is to ease the burden on patients and their families during difficult periods.
“Mobility should be about helping people access the care they need, with dignity and compassion,” said Kreft. He added that for patients facing serious illness, a ride can mean getting care without the added worry of transport costs.
Fundraising support for the hospice
Beyond transport, the dealership drives fundraising events that help sustain the hospice’s services. Among them are the Celebration of Life, Carols by Candlelight and Open Gardens. In 2025, Kreft supported the organisation’s cycling team in the Cape Town Cycle Tour, raising funds to mark the hospice’s 40th anniversary.
Robert de Wet, CEO of Helderberg Hospice, said the organisation was deeply grateful to Kreft and the dealership “for helping make essential journeys possible for our patients.”

Kreft has 25 years of service at Hyundai Automotive South Africa. After nine years as a Finance and Insurance manager, he moved into dealership leadership and helped establish Hyundai in Somerset West and Stellenbosch, where the dealership continues its support for the hospice.
