Last week, we had the honour of launching #DRIVESharp , our Don’t Drink and Drive campaign, just in time for the festive season. This campaign raises awareness of the irreversible consequences of drinking and driving, highlighted through true stories of devastating loss caused by the selfish decision to drink and drive. We also had the opportunity to demonstrate our Alcohol Evidence Centers, which have enabled over 24,000 drunk driver arrests. Let’s unite in advocating for responsible driving. Together, we can create safer roads for everyone. South Africa be Sharp. Don’t Drink And Drive. #DRIVESharp #SABSharp #SharpThursdays

As we observe Transport Month this October, an ideal time to launch DRIVE Sharp, our don’t drink and drive campaign ahead of the festive season. As part of our commitment to champion responsibility, SAB remains committed to promoting responsible consumption in South African communities. The DRIVE Sharp campaign sees two families, the Oliphants and Sampsons, share their devastating stories about the adverse impact drinking and driving has had in their lives. We are honoured to share the powerful stories of these families whose lives were forever changed by a selfish decision to drive under the influence. Our gratitude goes to these courageous families for allowing us to share their stories, in the hope that their experiences will serve as a wake-up call and a catalyst for change. South Africa, Be Sharp. Don’t Drink and Drive. #SABSharp #DriveSharp
