When you report a crime, or attend Government Departments such as a Magistrates Court or Master's Office, you deserve to be treated with dignity. #MyTruth is a safe space to share how you were treated at a South African police station, magistrates court, or master's office — 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 — 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 — no names, no personal stories.
Tell us privately how you were treated. Stay anonymous if you wish. Nothing you write is ever published.

Dignity isn't a favour they grant you when they feel like it. It's your right — promised to every one of us in the Constitution. #MyTruth exists because too often that promise isn't kept.
The South African Constitution promises everyone dignity, fair treatment by the state, and the right to be heard. When a police station, a court, or the Master's Office fails you, that promise is broken — quietly, one person at a time. #MyTruth counts those broken promises until they can't be ignored.
Here, you don't have to prove anything or convince anyone. You're believed. Your only job is to tell your truth — we hold the rest.
Your experience isn't "just a complaint." It's evidence. On its own, one story is easy to dismiss. Thousands together become a pattern no one in power can look away from.
You reached out for help and were let down. That's not a reflection of you — it's a reflection of a system that has to do better.
#MyTruth is how we make it better, together.
This is the only thing shown publicly: how many people reported each kind of problem, and where. No names, no personal stories — just the silence, counted.
Your private report does two safe, powerful things — 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 — anonymously — 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 — like IPID, which investigates the police.
We never send your report anywhere on our own — 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 — 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 — 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 — 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).
#MyTruth covers police stations, magistrates courts and the Master's Office. For police complaints, IPID and the Provincial Commissioner are the main routes; for a magistrates court it's the Magistrates Commission; for the Master's Office it's the Office of the Chief Master. Wherever your report fits, we can help you take it further.
In short: we collect reports privately and only ever publish the numbers — like "12 reports of statements not being taken." Numbers name no one, so no one is exposed.
#MyTruth is for everyone — you don't need a report to belong here. It's a movement of people choosing truth, healing and change: the weekly TikTok Lives held by our counselling team, the daily Morning Ritual, and a community that stands together. Leave your details and we'll walk with you.
