This Women's Month, Mazda Southern Africa is encouraging women to learn a skill that could make a real difference: changing a flat tyre.
It might sound simple, but for many women in South Africa, it isn't. More than half of women aged 18 to 34 do not know how to change a tyre or check essentials such as oil, coolant or tyre pressure. With road safety a daily concern, knowing what to do in an emergency brings peace of mind ' and power.
That is what #ChangeMoreThanATyre is all about. It is not just about turning the jack; it is about turning fear into confidence and everyday mishaps into something manageable. When you know what to do, a flat tyre feels less like a crisis and more like a challenge you can handle.
A quick step-by-step video shows Nathalie, a mum of two, safely changing a tyre on her Mazda CX-30. It is practical, empowering and designed to give you that 'I've got this' feeling, wherever the road takes you.
'At Mazda, we believe confidence and calm come from the little things,' says Deolinda da Costa, Head of Marketing and Communications at Mazda Southern Africa. 'Wonder does not just wait at the end of the road. It is in the quiet confidence of knowing you can take care of yourself and others. And if you'd rather not change the tyre yourself? We've got you.'
To celebrate Women's Month, Mazda is giving away 10 x R1 000 fuel vouchers. Snap a photo of your Mazda tyre, complete the form and stand to win a full tank.
