The Mobi-Jack ZA South Africa Sticker is an essential accessory for South African vehicle owners planning to travel across national borders. In accordance with international cross-border regulations (SADC requirements), any vehicle crossing from South Africa into neighboring countries must display a "ZA" emblem to identify its country of origin.
Technical Specifications
- Product Code: MOB7956.
- Material: Weather-resistant PVC/Vinyl with strong adhesive backing.
- Design: Standard "ZA" emblem (white oval with black lettering).
- Durability: UV-resistant to prevent fading in the harsh Southern African sun.
- Dimensions: Typically standard regulatory size (approx. 150mm x 100mm).
Key Features
- Regulatory Compliance: Designed to meet the legal requirements for road vehicles traveling between South Africa and neighboring countries like Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, and Mozambique.
- High-Tack Adhesive: Engineered to stay firmly attached to the rear of your vehicle through rain, dust, and high-speed highway travel.
- Easy Application: Simple "peel and stick" design. It can be applied to any clean, flat surface on the rear of the vehicle (usually the bumper or rear window).
- Weatherproof: Resistant to moisture and temperature fluctuations, ensuring the emblem remains legible throughout your trip.
Common Applications
- Cross-Border Travel: Required for cars, 4x4s, trailers, and motorcycles traveling within the SADC region.
- Commercial Transport: Used on bakkies and trucks transporting goods across South African borders.
- Fleet Management: Standard fitment for rental vehicles or company cars used for regional business.
Usage & Installation Tips
- Surface Preparation: Before applying the sticker, clean the area thoroughly with Herschell Clean Up Spray or a mild soapy water solution to remove any wax, grease, or road grime. This ensures maximum adhesive bonding.
- Placement: The "ZA" sticker must be placed on the rear of the vehicle. It should be clearly visible and not obstructed by the number plate, tow bar, or spare wheel.
- Removal of Bubbles: Apply the sticker from one edge and smooth it down slowly using a plastic card or a clean cloth to prevent air bubbles from forming.
- Legal Note: While this sticker covers the country identifier, remember that for most cross-border trips, you will also need a Blue & Yellow Triangle Sticker if you are towing a trailer.
