Safety ideas

South Africa, let’s stop talking about safety and start thinking about it, one idea at a time.

What if you could use a print ad to test your tyre tread and ensure your safety on the road? Try it now.

The idea is simple, yet it has the power to improve the safety of South Africans in an innovative way. At Santam, that’s what we believe insurance good and proper means – not only being there for our clients when something goes wrong, but helping prevent it from happening in the first place.

Do you have an idea that can improve the safety of South Africans, no matter how simple or small? Tell us about it in a short video (cellphone footage is perfect), which you can click here to upload. With our help and R150 000 incubation support, your one-of-a-kind idea could become this year’s one-of-a-kind safety solution.
