The Gauteng Provincial Government has officially launched its e-Panic app (Gauteng e-Panic) as part of the province’s commitment to prioritising the safety and security of citizens and communities. The panic button has been created to fight against crime and the persistent issues of domestic violence in Gauteng.
This free service, according to the provincial government, comes with a fully equipped response team ready to assist residents in their time of need.

By downloading and using this app, you can protect yourself and your loved ones in times of emergency,” Dhlamini said.
