Umdlalo wase Bethlehem is hosting its 1st annual event today (24-05-2026) at the Showground, Bethlehem.
We were told that the event is about the cleanest taxi and that it is also a charity event.
That is the difference between yesterday’s event at Voortrekker School and today’s event at Showground.
Please learn.
There were no sponsorship banners at the Showground apart from a Goldwagen gazebo and maybe a few others we might have missed.
Our experience is that the organizers might have requested sponsorships, but only one or two companies responded.
The taxi industry spends a lot of money on fuel, services, spares, licensing, repairs, and many other things. At least the following companies should have sponsored the event:
* Engen
* Sasol
* Shell
* Midas
* Ismails
* Diesel Electric
* Silverton
* Battery Centre
* Bethlehem Spares, etc.
Motswako Production has sponsored the Bethlehem taxi industry in the past.
All this will be over one day. It just takes bravery.
Let’s start on the 16th of June 2026. Young people have the ability to change things.
We invite all businesses to help us.
