North West MEC for Public Safety, Howard Yawa is to deliver the keynote address at the Brandhouse Road Traffic Management Corporation (RTMC) Number One Taxi Driver regional ceremony to be held tomorrow at Heuwelzicht in Rustenburg.
“The Brandhouse RTMC Number One Taxi Driver campaign is a collective effort to deliver responsible role models in the taxi industry who embody responsible driving and great customer care from both the individual drivers as well as taxi owners,” says MEC Yawa.
The campaign has been in existence for five year and seeks to educate taxi drivers and other road users on road safety and highlights, in particular, driver fatigue, drinking and driving, high speed driving and vehicles that are not road worthy.
Provincial winners to be announced at the event schedule to commence at 12h00 will represent the province at the national competition finals to be held on 3 November 2009 in Mpumalanga.
In 2008, the North West province’s Godfey Mosala was crowned as the Brandhouse Number One Taxi Driver national winner and won a Toyota Ses’fikile vehicle, business management skills training and R20 000 cash prize.
