HELPING HAND

ROAD safety is in sharp focus with the start of the annual Christmas holiday season – and Hyundai Automotive South Africa and its holding company, Motus, will once again contribute to making our roads a safer place for holiday travellers.

At an event attended by Mamelodi Sundowns players, Hyundai Automotive SA and Motus handed over the keys yesterday to six Hyundai Accents, to be used by the Bakwena N1N4 toll road concessionaire to patrol their routes and assist with the safety campaign.

This is the second consecutive year that Hyundai and Motus are sponsoring the Bakwena road safety drive. FORD is spreading the cheer this festive season, with a donation of 26 new vehicles to 22 charities in South Africa. The fleet, worth a combined retail value of over R12 million, comprises 15 Ford Transit vans, seven Tourneo Custom minibuses, the new Fiesta and three Rangers.

“South Africa is a road-based economy, making vehicle ownership a key factor in delivering the services needed to advance the country’s economy and improve the quality of life of all our people. We are very proud that Ford is able to help the selected charity organisations go further in providing the selfless services that they do,” said Duduzile Nxele, Ford Southern Africa communications manager.

The donation is the biggest that the company has ever made in South Africa.
