Wesley, the manager of joint ventures 851 and 852 in the Free State, challenged his staff to go above and beyond their sales goals, for the chance to win an afternoon of braaing and relaxing.
Needless to say, both teams smashed their goals, with 851 going R4 224 over their target, and 852 going R1 700 over their target. The break was thoroughly enjoyed by all, and they appreciated the opportunity for some healthy competition.
In November, Super Tyres took mum Ntokozo Christmas shopping for herself and 6 of her children from LIV Village.
They had an amazing time running around Gateway Mall. Each child got 2 new outfits, and mum Ntokozo treated herself to new bedding. After their shopping spree, Super Tyres treated them to a delicious meal.
Well done, superheroes!
If you’ve been on a family road trip, you know how tough it is to keep children entertained on the road. The relentless ‘are we there yet?” questions could test the most fun-loving parents. Kids love to think outside the box, and confining them to a car for hours can really test their patience and yours.
Here are 4 methods that can help you ensure the next road trip is a fun experience for every member of the family.
Most children love to draw and be creative, so anything that involves colour pencils and paper is huge winner. To create this kit, you just need a DVD cover, cut a piece of paper to fit into the left side of the case. On the right side of the case, you can place all the colouring equipment with a rubber band.
Wrapping up gifts to give by the hour helps entertain them, and gives them something to look forward to by the hour. You can also use it as a time indicator. For instance, if you have five gifts, this helps them estimate the length of the trip without having to explain too often. This can also make a beautiful visual story for your road trip snaps. Examples of cost-effective gifts include: little toys, action figures, comic books, a chocolate bar or a cheap barbie doll, etc.
Tablets loaded with your kids’ favourite games is guaranteed to keep your kids entertained. You can also keep it educational with e-books. The great thing is that most apps can now be used offline if data is a huge concern. Don’t forget your car charger!
It’s important to note that infants must be placed in a safe car seat. Having a parent or an older sibling next to the baby is a good idea because sometimes having someone to look at is enough to avoid restlessness. Make sure there are sun screens for the windows and lots of liquid to keep them hydrated. Food packed neatly in a cooler box will make sure food isn’t a dull experience. You could even ask them to draw up their own menu, to avoid complaints.
Don’t forget to make the holidays a special treat for your loved ones. Happy travelling!
An emergency car kit is one of those things we don’t think about until it’s too late. Whether it’s a break down in a dark and dingy spot with no cell phone reception, or going on a road trip and someone sustains minor injuries – it’s a good thing to always be prepared.
Having free road assistance is not an excuse to gear down on the safety. The great thing about making your own first aid kit is that you can customise it to fit into your family. You should always have a first aid kit, fire extinguisher, jumper cables, torch, extra batteries, a multi -purpose utility tool, a tyre gauge, and gloves on hand, just in case.

Getting it Together
The organisation is an important part of your first aid kit; everything needs to be easily accessible. The 3 small containers will help compartmentalise the bandages, gauze, and medication. This also saves space in the kit.
When you are done packing the small stuff in the various containers, label each container and include the day you stocked the stuff. Labelling the stock date will make it easier to rotate anything that is running low or has expired. Add the small containers into a medium-sized container and put it in your boot in case of emergency. If you are unsure about medication, contact ER24 and ask for medical advice or the pharmacy. It is also wise to pack a safety blanket and a 5-litre water container if you have space in your boot.
Safe travels!
