PRETORIA, South Africa -- With our beautiful scenery and wide variety of cultural influences, South Africa lends itself to many travelling and shopping opportunities.

And with more than 10 million vehicles used during August this year and approximately 15 million commuters relying on taxis daily, it is clear that South Africans move around a lot!

Unfortunately, sometimes we find ourselves in emergency situations and we all know it is better to be prepared and informed which minimises stress during these times.

In South Africa, it is estimated that 900 000 vehicle accidents were reported to the South African Police Service in 2008. Of these 900 000 accidents, 150 000 people were injured and 60 000 hospitalised.

Accidents occur for many reasons and often due to human error. This only emphasises the need to be prepared and equipped for any situation.

Often, finding emergency numbers may take especially long and with your safety in mind, MySidekick, a new shopping application, has included an Emergency feature that helps you quickly find numbers for emergency services!
