Instead of bracing for the usual festive season roadblock tension, they were met with something far lighter: an ice-cold [**PURA SODA**](https://www.livealittlepura.com/?ref=pulse.pressportal.co.za) passed through the window. A small moment of relief in what is often a stressful stop, made possible by [PURA Beverage Co](https://www.livealittlepura.com/?ref=pulse.pressportal.co.za "PURA Beverage Co"). in partnership with the South African Police Service (SAPS). ***“I braced for the usual roadblock stress and then I got a cold drink instead. Only in Joburg!”*** said one motorist. The activation was a collaboration between PURA Beverage Co. and SAPS Ekurhuleni District, aimed at easing festive-season anxiety. ***“As law enforcement, we see firsthand how busy and stressful this*** ***time of year can be,”*** says Major General Anna Sithole, Ekurhuleni District Commissioner. ***“Today*** ***was a chance to connect with motorists in a positive way and remind everyone that we’re here to keep them safe on the roads. A small moment of joy goes a long way.”*** PURA Beverage Co. initiated the idea as part of its new brand ethos, recognising that in modern life, even everyday rituals can feel overwhelming. ***“Life is a lot. We all feel it – from the traffic to the to-*** ***do lists to the December rush,”*** says Greig Jansen, CEO of PURA Beverage Co. ***“Sometimes the*** ***smallest, simplest moments of refreshment can make a real difference. That’s what today was*** ***about: an honest cooldrink moment, shared with the people who needed it most.”*** **The brand’s intention was clear:** - Break the tension of a traditionally stressful moment - Celebrate the power of small, human gestures - Bring the new brand ethos to life, one can at a time ***“From ‘Oh no…’ to ‘Oh wow, thanks!’ in five seconds flat,”*** laughed another motorist on their way to work. Today’s activation marks the launch of PURA SODA’s refreshed brand platform: ***“Life doesn’t have to be a lot. JUST live a little PURA.”*** It’s the first of many moments designed to help people pause, breathe, smile, and choose lighter living - even in the busiest time of the year. **Total Words:** 371 ### Submitted on behalf of - **Company:** KDT Agency PTY Ltd - **Contact #:** 0828811843 - [Website](https://www.kdtcomms.com/?ref=pulse.pressportal.co.za) - [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/kdt-agency?ref=pulse.pressportal.co.za) ### Media Contact - **Agency/PR Company:** KDT Agency PTY Ltd - **Contact person:** Kerryn Du Toit - **Contact #:** 0828811843 - [Website](https://www.kdtcomms.com/?ref=pulse.pressportal.co.za) - [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/kdt-agency?ref=pulse.pressportal.co.za) - [X.com](https://www.x.com/kdtagencyza?ref=pulse.pressportal.co.za) ### Social Media Post **A Refreshing Spin On A Joburg Roadblock With Pura Soda And Saps** During festive travel in Johannesburg, a routine roadblock became a welcome surprise as motorists received ice-cold PURA SODA, easing stress through a small, human moment created with SAPS partnership....
