In an emergency (South Africa): Police 10111 · Emergency from a mobile 112 · GBV Command Centre 0800 428 428.

Meet in public

Choose busy public places for first meetings — a café, restaurant or event. Avoid going to someone's home.

Tell a friend

Use "Share my date" to send a trusted friend who you're meeting, where and when.

Your location stays approximate

Others only see your general area. Share your exact location only when you're ready to meet, and stop sharing afterwards.

Trust your instincts

If something feels off, leave. You never owe anyone a meeting.

Get your own ride

Arrange your own transport to and from the date.
