MasterDrive in partnership with the South African Bus Operators Association (SABOA) is hosting the inaugural SABOA Fleet Safety Awards specifically for the bus industry. Entries for the competition are officially open. If you are a bus operator committed to road safety, do not hesitate to enter and give yourself the best opportunity to showcase your organisation.

The CEO of MasterDrive, Eugene Herbert, says we are in need for a Fleet Safety Awards targeted specifically around the unique needs of the bus industry. “Thus, following the launch of the Fleet Safety Awards by MasterDrive in 2022, the importance of this was seen by SABOA. Soon after discussions started between our organisations to develop an Awards ceremony designed to suit the bus industry.

 “There will be two categories that bus operators can enter including Best Fleet Manager and Best Operator. If you have a manager embodying road safety and empowering drivers to be the safest on the road, seize the opportunity for them to be rewarded for their dedication. Additionally, if your organisation promotes road safety as an ethos and provides the skills and materials needed to prioritise it, you can put your company forward to be recognised as well.”

Both MasterDrive and SABOA encourage all operators committed to road safety to enter the Awards. “Both the act of being rewarded and the demonstration of your success in road safety will make a significant impact in furthering safety on our roads,” says Herbert.
