First Car makes life easier for our Kovsies with disabilities

2014-06-23

Kovsie student Nthabiseng Mofokeng and Martie Miranda, Sign Language interpreter of the USD, with the sedan sponsored by First Car Rental Service.

First Car Rental Service launched their transport service for students with disabilities at our Bloemfontein Campus during 2013. Their uniquely-branded bright pink sedan and mini-bus are easy to spot as they travel to and from campus.

Driver, John Moatlhodi, safely transports our students with disabilities between the Bloemfontein and South Campuses, to their medical appointments around the city, as well as to projects arranged by the Unit for Students with Disabilities (USD).

Initially, First Car mostly transported interpreters to the South Campus, but their service is rapidly growing in popularity. Added to this great initiative, First Car supplies this transport service at no cost to the university.
