JC Auditors (JCA) has extended its Road Transport Management System (RTMS) certification to organisations in Namibia and Botswana, the company announced on Friday.

The company, a local leader in transport and road safety compliance, said organisations in both countries seeking to enhance their road safety protocols would now be able to benefit from its certification.

RTMS is a certification programme designed to encourage responsible road usage among transport operators. It focuses on optimising vehicle loads, promoting driver wellness, and fostering an organisational culture of road safety.

“JCA's expansion into Namibia and Botswana reflects a growing recognition of the importance of RTMS in enhancing road safety across borders,” said JCA managing director, Oliver Naidoo.

“By partnering with organisations in these countries, JCA aims to facilitate the adoption of RTMS practices and certification, ultimately contributing to safer roads and improved transport operations.”

He said the company had formed collaborative partnerships with key organisations and stakeholders in Namibia and Botswana to promote the adoption of RTMS and to support organisations with guidance on optimising vehicle loads, implementing driver wellness programmes, and establishing a culture of road safety.

“JCA's expansion into Namibia and Botswana aligns with the company's mission to promote safer roads and responsible road practices across the southern African region,” Naidoo said.

“By extending the benefits of RTMS certification to organisations in these countries, we aim to contribute to reduced accidents, improved road infrastructure, and enhanced overall road safety.”
