This year, we are proud to mark a remarkable milestone: the 15th Birthday of MOT in South Africa. The MOT Enthusiasts’ Gathering is more than just an event; it’s a day to honour the achievements of MOT and to embrace the exciting journey that lies ahead. With the theme “Courage to Celebrate,” we aim to bring about the spirit of resilience, acknowledge our successes, and commemorate the progress we’ve made over the 15 years of MOT in South Africa.

Theme
The #CouragetoCelebrate theme resonates deeply with the core values that MOT stands for. Over the years, MOT has tackled critical issues such as high dropout rates, lack of discipline, bullying, and substance abuse among the youth. The MOT programme has been a driving force in instilling values and positive behaviour, fostering holistic development that extends far beyond the classroom.
Introduced to South Africa in 2006, MOT took up the challenge to reshape the educational landscape. The result was a transformation that extends beyond academics, enriching both individuals and communities. The core philosophy of MOT emphasizes the importance of values, self-leadership, and resilience, echoing the sentiment that even in the face of adversity, we can find the strength to celebrate our progress.
These awards recognize those who have made exceptional contributions to the MOT programme and embody the values and spirit of MOT.
Don’t miss this magical event that brings together MOT Enthusiasts from all walks of life! Don’t forget to save the date. We look forward to seeing you there!

As an important part of the effort to create a user-friendly website, we look at the user pattern of those who visit the site. To analyze the information, we use the Google Analytics analysis tool.Google Analytics uses cookies (small text files that the site stores on the user's computer), which registers the users' IP address and provides information about the individual user's online movements. Examples of what the statistics give us answers to are; how many people visit different pages, how long the visit lasts, what websites users come from and what browsers are used. None of the cookies allow us to link information about your use of the site to you as an individual.The information collected by Google Analytics is stored on Google servers in the U.S.. The information received is subject to the Google Privacy Policy.An IP address is defined as a personal information because it can be traced back to a particular hardware and thus to an individual. We use Google Analytics's tracking code to anonymize the IP address before the information is stored and processed by Google. Thus, the stored IP address can not be used to identify the individual user.
2. Search
If the webpage has search function, it stores information about what keywords users use in Google Analytics. The purpose of the storage is to improve our information service.

The "Share with others" feature can be used to forward links to the site by email, or to share the content of social networking. Tips for tips are not logged with us, but only used to add the tips to the community. However, we can not guarantee that the online community does not log this information. All such services should therefore be used wisely. If you use the email feature, we only use the provided email addresses to resend the message without any form of storage.
