Motor manufactures join hands with Saps.

People often ask themselves the question of who buys those fancy cars that Saps members patrol and use for everyday crime? well the answer is very  much simple. The cars that are being drived by our so called heroes of humanity comes from car manufacturing companies that always put their public relations elements into practise such as  sponsorships.
Ford motor company of South Africa has handed over more than 200 new Ford Territory cars to the Gauteng Police Department. At hand-over ceremony the Gauteng Police Department took ownership of 250 new cars. The 250 new cars will be used in various special units including Dog Unit, Flying Squad and the Crime-Combating Unit within the province. (read more)

It is fantastic to see not only Ford coming to the party but also Vw South Africa has shown  that sponsorship is important to an organisations success and in this case our policeman and woman are really driving in style thanks to companies like Ford and Volkswagen South Africa.To upcoming public Relations practitioner it is very important to use every important element of Public Relations in your organisation because in my opinion it shows the competence and professionalism that the industry of public relations has and also not forgeting that all this will help your brand become widely recognised and respected.

  4. I also agree with Dineo,i though the cars are bought by the government. i have to say its very clever of those car companies to sponsor the SAPS because they know their cars will be well known and respected since their driven by respected people in the society which are the police.

  5. No! no! no! i also dont think this are sponsored cars, imaging the money that could be spend on these cars. And the manufacturers on the other hand must pay tax. Maybe they purchased them with reasonable discount.
