Hi guys,

Long time no speak...

Well, things are going great when it comes to new registered and active Wazers.
More and more people are using Waze on their daily commute, there is a major increase in the numbers of map editors that keep improving the maps for the benefit of all Wazers in South Africa.

So now is the time to go forward and work together - Creating a community of editors, local Champs, wiki experts and everybody who wishes to take part in helping fellow Wazers, create mapping guidelines and be the ones to lead.

Guys, we would love to hear from you - please share with me your suggestions, insights, ideas and anything that comes to your mind!

Thanks.

Hi Guys,

Nice to hear from you!
We know that the petrol prices are a big issue across the world.
Thanks to your awesome work on adding the SA petrol station we've reached the min. number of gas station required to set up the Gas station feature.
We have started working on the implementation of the feature in SA and it might take a few weeks.
We'll keep you posted on our progress!

Best,
Amit

Well, howzit!

Sven here. Wazer for 4 years and part-time editor for the last year.
Live north of the northern suburbs of Joburg, and south of the Pretoria south. Just in the sweet spot

Travel quite a bit for work, and have Waze as the constant companion.

Biggest Desire: To get a non-working robot, erm, traffic light alert for the app!

Hi Pieter here,

I maped like crazy for a year and took a break.
After driving from JHB to Knysna, and finding some long distance routing problems on N12, i couldn't resist logging in again.

The news on the fuel stations and pricing on it's way to SA is great news.

Regards,
diepes

Hi there,

My name is Kevin I run a electronics/ it company in Richards Bay, live in Empangeni. I got into Waze just over 3 years ago and became totally addicted. I like adding elements that give wazers queues while navigating such as rivers, parks and lakes etc.

Keep up the good work.

Step forward and introduce yourselves

This made me chuckle...

The forums are quite these days - maybe the petrol price or e-tolls have put a shock into the system.

I'm Kyle - one of the South African Country Managers. Feel free to drop me a PM here on the forums. I'll generally get back to you within a day. I have to say I'm pleased to see a number of new editors around. As Ori said, don't be shy. If you have any questions we are here to help regardless how small the issue may seem.

Seems like the North of PTA is a hotspot for editors. That's three so far!

Hi folks,

Adrian here, from the southern suburbs of Cape Town. I'm new to Waze, but I'm a big contributor to OpenStreetMap so I have a lot of experience with the concepts of map editing.

Cheers!
