Having a driving license in the film and TV industries is often the DEAL MAKER or DEAL BREAKER when it comes working on productions and in production companies.

Students are accompanied with a professional driving instructor in the S-Presso.

The Kalahari Endangered Ecosystem Project (KEEP) is a project which is responsible for studying the effects of climate change in Africa. Suzuki Kenya continued with supporting this project as it aligns the brand with a cause which is close to the hearts of many Suzuki customers. For a second year, the project team was sponsored with two Vitara GLX All Grip models which were used by students, researchers and professors of various institutions to track animals and collect data within the 110 000 HA Tswalu Kalahari Reserve.

An initiative that provides literacy resources and teachers’ training and support, empowers teachers and students to increase literacy levels in rural schools around the country. With the pandemic during 2020, we were unable to personally deliver reading material and resources, however they were delivered to through the READ Foundation. During this year, SASA was able to sponsor three schools with the material within the KZN-Berg region. Over and above the reading material, SASA donated Suzuki branded buffs to the learners, educators and staff of two of these schools. The Rally to Read resonates with SASA’s way of life to uplift reading in our schools and communities and promote the good of education in our lives and schools at large.

SASA donated a Swift 1.2 GLX to the Kenyan Guide Dog Association for their 2019 raffle ticket to win the car at the end of the year. This is the fourth year that SASA has supported this project. The Kenyan Dogs Association for the Blind provides independence, mobility and companionship and various core services, such as guide dogs, Autism Support Dogs, Service Dogs and Orientation & Mobility Dogs. Due to COVID and lockdown periods, the association had a decline of 50% in ticket sales and managed to only raise just under R400 000 for the organisation. SASA again adopted puppy, named Akari by our social media fan base.

Suzuki Motorcycle’s hosted a Road safety track day out at Red Star Raceway. The aim of this day was to create specific awareness of road safety for motorcyclists and for vehicles to be aware of motorcyclists. The day was run by the Suzuki Motorcycle team with Stuart Baker conducting the classroom session where safety aspects such as “line choice, driver behaviours cornering, braking and general road safety awareness” was discussed. From the classroom, the riders were divided into groups according to rider ability and the rest of the motorcycle team led the riders on the track where the riders were shown lines and braking points etc.

The Springbok Scout room at Gilwell is a lounge where all the scouts from the Gauteng region that have earned their National colours in Scouting get to keep their log books and they also get to use this room exclusively along with Adult Scout leaders for meetings and social functions. The room and more importantly the scout log book cupboard were in desperate need of a refurbishment and a good clean up.
