After another successful year with each of you by our side, MasterDrive will take a short break as 2025 concludes. The last day of operations will be on 19 December 2025, and we will reopen on 12 January 2026. Assistance will, however, be available throughout this time should critical need arise.
The CEO of MasterDrive, Eugene Herbert, says the team extends genuine gratitude to all clients, partners, individuals and organisations for the role played in our journey this year. "With each of you by our side it allowed us to not only succeed in our endeavours but experience growth as well.
"The promotion of road safety remains paramount. We are encouraged to see that organisations maintain their steadfast commitment to road safety, even amongst the multitude of business challenges each organisations faces daily," says Herbert.
December training promotion
Do not forget to take advantage of our December Road Safety Campaign before the annual break. MasterDrive is still accommodating clients wishing to complete training in 2025 before the notoriously dangerous festive season roads.
Organisations booking 10 or more drivers for Defensive Driver Training (every additional 10 candidates equals an extra entry) during December 2025 automatically qualifies, receiving:
Entry into the triple prize draw (R18 000 total value):
- Grand prize: Glamping Adventure Holiday (R8 000) with luxury tented accommodation, full board, curated experiences, and 12-month redemption flexibility
- Two R5 000 gift vouchers redeemable for MasterDrive training services
Complimentary Lunch & Learn Safety Sessions (up to R25 000 value)
Included in this is automatic participation in two specialised 1-hour virtual sessions. Organisations training 20 or more drivers will receive both sessions:
- When seconds matter: mastering December's deadliest roads - addressing December-specific hazards including fatigue recognition, distraction management, and critical hazard identification
- Hijack awareness and prevention: staying safe in 2026 - covering suspicious behaviour recognition, high-risk situational awareness, and response protocols as drivers return to predictable routes in January
MasterDrive is available to assist with training in critical circumstances during December, though there are limitations according to staff availability. Be sure to book your spot as soon as possible.
With a positive outlook for 2026, MasterDrive looks forward to greater growth in the coming year. "We remain optimistic about what next year holds and look forward to continuing our partnerships in making South Africa's roads safer," says Herbert.
