The State of Gender Based Violence

10818 rape cases reported to SAPS in the 1st Quarter of 2022.
KPMG Study in 2012/13 found that GBV cost the economy an estimated R28.4bn to 42.4bn.

The State of Eucation

It changed my life in terms of a job opportunity that they gave me as it is a community linked life saver in terms of many aspects. E.g. Protects the community by helping them in an easier way to get help from SAPS.

Since I got the alarm system, I sleep and feel safe, compared to the past years. We used to live in fear all the time, but now we can call the Police and CPF ourselves by pushing the button. Once I used the alarm to ask the police to call the ambulance as an old grandmother was very sick, and the Police helped me. Thank you Police and MeMeZa.

One of my tenants shacks was on fire and I rushed to press the panic button of my MeMeZa. The police assisted us in getting the fire fighters. This happened at 2am in the morning.

A No Fee School was broken into. The thieves broke into the kitchen area where the MeMeZa Policing Alarm was not installed. When the thieves proceeded to the classrooms where ICT equipment are kept, the MeMeZa Community Policing Alarm sensor activated the siren and SMS functionality. The criminals did try and break the sirens to stop the noise, however fled as the sirens kept ringing and they knew people were on the way. No ICT was stolen.
