When you report a crime, you deserve to be treated with dignity. #MyTruth is a safe space to share how you were treated at a South African police station β anonymously if you choose. Your voice, on your terms.
Too many are left unheard behind the glass. This is where your voice breaks through.
You never have to use your real name. Share only what you're comfortable with.
Your details and documents are private and seen only by our small team. They're never published.
No individual report is ever shown. The public only ever sees anonymous totals β with no names.
Three simple steps. Take them in any order, and only the ones you're ready for. Tap a card to go straight there.
Look at what others have reported. Anonymous totals only β no names, no personal stories.
Tell us privately how you were treated. Stay anonymous if you wish. Nothing you write is ever published.
Add your voice and join our weekly TikTok Live β a safe space held by our counselling team.
Too often, people are turned away, ignored, or made to feel they don't matter. And because each person carries it alone, nothing changes.
#MyTruth changes that. We gather what happens β privately, safely, with no one exposed β and turn thousands of separate, silent experiences into one clear pattern that can't be denied or brushed aside.
This is never about shaming you, or anyone else. It's about proving, together, that this is real and widespread β so the people in charge have to answer for it.
You stay protected. The truth gets heard.
That's the point.
#MyTruth lives on TikTok β a community of people telling their truth and pushing for change, held by our counselling team. We go Live every week. Leave your details and we'll let you know when each Live is on (times move around, so we'll keep you posted).
Connect with our community of truth-tellers and change-makers, and join our weekly Live β a safe space held by our counselling team.
In short: we collect reports privately and only ever publish the numbers β like "12 reports of statements not being taken." Numbers name no one, so no one is exposed.
This is the only thing shown publicly: how many people reported each kind of problem, and where. No names, no personal stories β just the silence, counted.
Your private report does two safe, powerful things β without ever exposing you.
Your report and any documents are stored securely and seen only by our small review team. Nothing about you ever goes online.
We count it β anonymously β into the public totals, so the scale of the problem becomes impossible to ignore.
If you choose, we help you take your own complaint to the right office β like IPID, which investigates the police.
We never send your report anywhere on our own β it stays private with our team. But if you choose, we'll help you take it to the official office whose job it is to act. Here's exactly who they are.
For poor service β not taking your statement, doing nothing, rudeness, or losing your case. These service complaints go to the SAPS Provincial Commissioner's office, not IPID.
The Independent Police Investigative Directorate investigates serious wrongdoing by police β assault, corruption, or a death. This is the route for misconduct, not everyday service complaints.
Looks into complaints about magistrates' courts and how they are run.
Investigates government departments and officials who don't do their job.
Checks service failures in government departments β like the Department of Justice.
Oversees the Master of the High Court, which handles estates and trusts.
Steps in when your rights have been violated (the SAHRC).
Right now #MyTruth focuses on police stations, so IPID is the main route. The others are where we're heading as the movement grows β and where we can already help you take a complaint if it fits.
