Every day, thousands of South Africans open Waze, enter their destination, and start driving.
What they don’t always realise is that behind those routes is a community of dedicated volunteer map editors. 
That new road you can navigate? An editor helped map it.
That turn restriction keeping you on the correct route? An editor checked it.
That road closure helping you avoid unnecessary delays? An editor helped update it.
That business you can finally find? An editor helped put it on the map.
And the best part? These editors are volunteers!
Whether you’re a Level 1 editor learning the basics or a Level 6 editor helping guide the community, your contributions matter.
To every South African Waze editor: THANK YOU!
Your dedication, patience, and willingness to improve the map are genuinely valued and appreciated.
