The civil organization,
Afriforum has introduced a 24-hour crisis line where the organization’s members
and their families can report crime, other emergencies and request emergency
assistance telephonically.
CEO of AfrForum Kallie Kriel
said the organization launched this service for its members in view of the
growing crime crisis in the country.
Kriel said his organisation
decided to launch this service, named AfriForum 911, for its members in view of
the growing crime crisis in the country and the fact that the police are often
slow to react in emergency situations.
“Where the government fails in
its basic responsibilities to ensure citizens’ safety, we have to do all we can
ourselves to ensure our members’ safety Kriel added.
