I, Peter Bezuidenhout, CEO, was an Operational Firefighter for 30 years, at the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality. We as Firefighters worked under a code of “Proud, Positive and Professional” and a motto of “Always ready and prepared”
My job consisted of different emergency incidents on a daily base. Motor vehicle accidents (MVA) are one of the realities that we dealt with regularly. It was heart-breaking to free people from motor vehicle wrecks. Many times, these accidents are fatal; sometimes the injuries are serious and occasionally the occupants get off lightly.
Seeing all these accidents has motivated me to try and make a difference by making our roads safer, and preventing accidents from occurring. Normally, these accidents are made by human error. That is MY inspiration for this training.
