Accessibility Statement

Mzaca Gas and Paraffin (Pty) Ltd aims for both physical and digital accessibility to ensure all customers in Bloemfontein can access their essential energy services. Compliance is guided by the National Building Regulations in South Africa and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).

Physical Accessibility

The company's physical location and operations are guided by South African National Standard (SANS) building regulations, which require that:

Accessible Routes: A clear, continuous, and wide pathway (minimum 900 mm wide) must be available from public transport stops, parking areas, and public streets to the building entrance and facilities inside.
Obstacle-Free: The path of travel must be free of obstacles, and protruding objects must be easily seen or shielded to prevent injuries, which helps people with visual impairments.
Ramps and Handrails: Where level access is not possible, ramps with a gradient no steeper than 1:12 must be provided, complete with handrails on both sides for support.
Signage: Facilities for people with disabilities, such as parking spaces or accessible toilets (if applicable), must be indicated with the international access symbol.

Digital Accessibility (Website)

While specific features of their current website are not detailed in public records, South African standards for business websites recommend adhering to at least WCAG 2.1 Level A guidelines. This ensures the website is perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust for users with disabilities.

Key features of an accessible website typically include:
Keyboard Navigation: All functionality is accessible using a keyboard interface.
Text Alternatives: Images and non-text content have descriptive alternative text for een readers.
Good Contrast: Text has a sufficient contrast ratio (at least 4.5:1) against its background to assist the visually impaired.
Readable Content: The website is designed to be easily read and understood, with adjustable text sizes.
