FlySafair shares its love of flying with future generations by launching a brand new competition for schools

-

 


Low-cost carrier FlySafair is giving away 10 return domestic flights to three schools ahead of Youth Month. The School Booster Competition invites schools around the country to share in the airline’s love of flying by submitting their motivations for consideration.

“It can be a magical experience for a child stepping onto a plane for the first time,” says Kirby Gordon, Chief Marketing Officer at FlySafair. “For those in the aviation industry, it’s that childlike wonder that never really leaves you and we’d like to introduce young South Africans to the excitement that is flying. So whether it’s a maths Olympiad in another city, a sporting tournament at the coast or a debating competition in the next province, we want to offer schools the opportunity to get there safely, hassle-free and on time.”

The School Booster competition opens on Monday, 20 May 2024, and closes on Monday, 3 June 2024. Entries can be completed by parents, teachers, members of the community or learners who are older than 18. Entrants will need to submit a motivation with their entry form and the school principal will have to consent to the entry and competition’s terms and conditions. Eligible entries will also need to include the total number of learners, whether the school is private or public, and the principal’s contact details. To enter, visit flysafair.co.za. The three winning schools will each receive 10 return domestic flights for their learners and accompanying staff members.

“Over the years, we’ve been able to support different sectors of South African life from art and music to small businesses and sport. We felt it was time to give back to a younger generation and what better way to do so than to three local schools.”

This is supported by statistics indicating a 45,5% unemployment rate among young individuals (aged 15-34 years), in contrast to the national average of 32,9% in the first quarter of 2024. It’s clear, though, that the struggle continues for many South African women – specifically in the area of small business and entrepreneurship. According to the World Bank, Africa boasts the highest growth rate of female-run businesses in the world. But down on the southernmost tip of the continent, women are still in the minority when it comes to entrepreneurship. While more than half of South Africa’s population is female, only 38% of SMEs are women owned and led. Despite these benefits and the potential of entrepreneurship to improve the socio-economic empowerment of  women in South Africa, ...
