South Africa can be a dangerous place to live in. Statistics released by the SA Police Service in 2019 showed year-on-year increases in the rates of reported violent crimes, including murder, rape, and assault. Add to this the country’s dismal road safety records, with around 1 million road accidents each year resulting in the deaths of more than 40 people per day, and it’s easy to understand why citizens take extra steps to ensure their safety.
To better protect themselves, South Africans have resorted to using all manner of security measures, including their smartphones. The fact that these devices are portable and come with the capability to have their locations tracked in real-time make them ideal for monitoring safety.
There are many apps on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store which offer South Africans useful security capabilities, and here are a few highlighted that can be of assistance even for those visiting South Africa. The apps offering 24/7 monitoring are usually better than relying on your friends to respond.
