Today we recognize our staff members who have climbed up the automobile ladder during their tenure. At CMH Mazda Randburg we believe in personal development, we encourage all our staff to partake in in-house training to increase their chances of moving up the automobile ladder.

Bobo (Nathaniel Malopo)

Nathaniel started off as a cleaner in 2004 and today is one of the best Motor Mechanics at our dealership. In 2015, Nathaniel Malapo (Bobo) was finally ready to take that leap and kick start his dream by approaching the then Workshop Manager requesting to be part of that year`s Apprenticeship group. In that year he enrolled with MERSETA Learnership programme to do a Motor Mechanics course. Bobo’s dedication and hard work ensured he passed Level 1 Motor Mechanics. In 2016 Bobo proceeded to do Level 2 and Level 3. By early 2017 Bobo was qualified as a Motor Mechanic. After recognizing his passion and enthusiasm Mazda South Africa opened a career path for him to do a Master Tech Course. By the end of 2018, Bobo finished Level 1 and Level 2. (He is still awaiting results for the Master Technician course) but we have no doubt that he will qualify.

Robert Ntsimane

Joining Ford & Mazda in 2005 as a Workshop Assistant, Robert felt at home in an amazing working environment which pushed him to yearn for more. In 2016 he requested to do the tests to qualify as a Technician and in 2018 at the ripe old age of 49 he qualified.

Ronald Wesley

Ronald joined us in 2018 as a MERSETA trainee, Ronald successfully completed his training with flying colours, this opened the door to his career growth opportunity, he was given a permanent position as a Service Adviser.

Calvin Mathibela

Calvin joined us on the MERSETA programme as a Service Advisor and passed the learnership programme, this earned him a permanent position with us as a Parts salesman, he excelled in this role and surprised us all. We are very proud of our employees who excel at what they do and wish all of them only the best in 2019.

With the holidays approaching, many of us will be travelling to different parts of the country and are likely to feel the pinch of thepetrol price. The price of petrol seems to be constantly increasing and that means that we’re stretched a bit thinner everywhere else. In fact, the price of one litre of petrol in South Africa increased from R7.16 in 2008 to R16.85 in November 2018 which means it’s almost tripled in the last decade. While these facts are all good and well, how do we save fuel and therefore avoid breaking the bank every time we pull into a petrol station? We’ve compiled a few handy tips to help you get your fuel to go further.

Maintain proper tyre inflation:

Check your car owner’s manual and always ensure that your tires are inflated to the proper air pressure level. Improperly inflated tires can reduce your car’s fuel economy by up to five percent in some cases. This is quite simply a complete waste of fuel and money

Make your car more aerodynamic

Remove all the extras when you’re not using them, like roof racks for example. By decreasing the weight of your car and making it more aerodynamic ensures that you’ll burn less fuel as there’s less pressure on the vehicle

Keep the windows closed:

Keeping the windows closed (sorry smokers) will ensure that your car remains aerodynamic. Keeping your windows down while driving creates more drag and wind resistance for your automobile.

Minimize air conditioning

We know when the summer heat hits, you need your aircon but if you can limit your use of the AC in moderation, you’ll be pleasantly surprised by how much fuel you save.

Replace dirty air filters

Dirty air filters cause your car’s engine to work much harder than it should have too and always results in poor fuel economy. So, make sure you follow the manufacturer’s recommendation for periodically changing out the air filter. A clean air filter allows your engine to perform more efficiently, as well as helping you to save money at the pump.

This October CMH Mazda Randburg is honoring National Breast Cancer Awareness Month by wearing pink ribbons. The campaign is to raise Public awareness and educate people about the disease in order to decrease late detection. Cancer affects one in four South Africans, through diagnosis of family, friends, colleagues or self. In order to recognize the warning signs and lower their risks It is important for women to be educated on the disease. Woman also need to lead a healthy and balanced lifestyle in order to decrease their risk. It is advised to have an annual medical check-up and cancer screening for early detection as symptoms don’t always appear until the cancer has spread. Whilst not all breast lumps indicate cancer they should be investigated, especially if accompanied by other changes to the breast or the underarm area. Warning signs include lumps, texture changes, thickening, dimpling, changes in shape or size of nipples or breasts, tenderness, discharge, rash or swelling, or one breast suddenly being slightly larger than the other. Research has shown that a regular Breast Self-Examination (BSE) plays an important role in discovering breast cancer compared to finding a random lump to the breast. A BSE should be done once a month, preferably at the same time of day, following a woman’s menstrual cycle. Our DP Anita Sumares is a breast cancer survivor and through her experience she advises all to get a second opinion. In her case the doctor was unable to detect the disease and she was diagnosed by the second doctor nine months later. Anita says in her case she didn’t have any lumps but did have a hard mass on the side of the breast. This goes to show that some people get diagnosed with the disease without having the lump which illustrates the importance of regular checkups. Get a second opinion, it saved our DP’s life it could save yours. Source: CANSA website: https://www.cansa.org.za/womens-health/
