Zebra Crossing with a social purpose<\/a>: <\/p>\n

Zebra Cabs, the company that is empowering the metered cab industry by enabling owner-drivers to buy new bespoke cab vehicles and, thereby, establish their own small business, will celebrate Madiba Day by creating a unique \u2018Zebra Crossing\u2019 (#zebracrossing) in Gauteng.<\/p>\n

On 18th July 2016, A fleet of over 120 Zebra cabs, all decked out in the signature black and white stripes of one of Africa\u2019s most iconic animals, will drive together from Corlett Drive, via the M1, to the company\u2019s headquarters in Midrand. They will be supported by a Metro police escort.<\/p>\n

This \u2018crossing\u2019 of the large \u2018herd\u2019 of Zebras will honour the memory of Madiba and the spirit of doing good. The mass drive will conclude in the handing over to Khensani\u2019s Collection, a non-profit organisation (NPO) operating mainly in Diepsloot, of a cheque to the value of R67 000. Khensani\u2019s Collection gives priority to education initiatives in its mentoring and community upliftment activities.<\/p>\n

The public are invited to join in the Zebra Crossing by promoting their favourite charities on social platforms. The NPO that receives the most votes via #zebracrossing will receive an additional R 6\u00a0700 donation from Zebra Cabs.<\/p>\n

In conventional road safety terms, a zebra crossing is a place where people are prioritised over vehicles and, thereby, enabled to safely reach their destinations. \u201cSo, our Mandela Day \u2018Zebra Crossing\u2019 is an additional way for us to express our own corporate ethos of helping people cross safely, successfully, and sustainably from the informal to the formal economy,\u201d says Zebra Cabs head, Ana Bonanni. \u201cIn this particular instance, we are emphasising the need to help South Africa\u2019s youth cross from disadvantage to both economic and social success.\u201d<\/p>\n

Zebra Cabs will pay drivers involved in the Mandela Day Zebra Crossing a flat rate for the two hours (10:00 \u2013 12:00) of the migration. The company will also have reserve drivers on standby to assist consumers and commuters in need of cab transport.<\/p>\n
