MISA keeps Johannesburg Care Foundation on the road 

 

Driving with worn tyres is an accident waiting to happen.

That is why MISA, the Motor Industry Staff Association, immediately responded to the desperate plea of the Johannesburg Care Foundation for new tyres for their delivery vehicle. Llewellyn Ryan, founder of the non-profit organisation, that focuses on bringing food to children and elderly in need, approached the Union for assistance because they did not have the funds to replace the worn tyres.

 

Over the past year, MISA has experienced the impact of a dire economic situation with consumers not replacing tyres or maintaining their vehicles as they should. “MISA was deeply concerned when Transport Minister Barbara Creecy announced that 1 502 people died on South African roads over the Festive Season in 1 234 fatal crashes. A total of 16,527 vehicles were found to be unroadworthy,” says Martlé Keyter, MISA’s Chief Executive Officer: Operations.

 

According to Keyter the Union leads by example and paid for the new tyres. “MISA annually supports the Foundation as part of our social responsibility to allow them to continue their amazing work without putting their staff or other road users at risk,” says Keyter.

 

The Foundation uses the vehicle to collect donations towards the soup kitchens that it operates. The Union has also donated school shoes and blankets to the Foundation in the past. Ryan says he cannot thank MISA enough. “I am so relieved and so grateful.”
