What we do

Across South Africa, Afrikaner communities are strengthening local safety through lawful, community-based structures that are built on training, communication, technology and cooperation.

AFRIKANER COMMUNITY SAFETY

ORGANIZED, TRAINED AND CONNECTED

Across South Africa, Afrikaner communities are strengthening local safety through lawful, community-based structures that are built on training, communication, technology and cooperation.

These structures do not replace the South African Police Service or emergency services. The structures equip trained civilian volunteers to improve preparedness, respond to emergencies, and support authorities when required.

ORGANIZED COMMUNITY-BASED NETWORKS

Community-based safety structures typically combine operational, information and support teams, coordinated by community leadership and connected through regional and national civilian networks.

These networks now connect more than 177 neighborhood and farm-watch structures, which allow communities to share information, training, equipment, and expertise.

PROGRESSIVE TRAINING

Civilian volunteers develop their capabilities through structured levels:

Level 1

Basic Safety

Communications, legal responsibilities, home and area security, crime and accident scenes, command and control, and basic information gathering

Level 2

Advanced Skills

Self-defense, basic firearms training, first-response skills, and advanced communications

Level 3

Leadership and Specialization

Operational, information and support functions, team leadership, and instructor development.

Level 4

Specialist Training

Selected members can receive advanced response, tracking, observation, and survival training.

TECHNOLOGY AND COMMUNICATION

Technology expands community-based response capacity significantly. Civilian drone teams can assist with aerial observation, searches, patrol support, and emergency operations.

One established national network has 48 civilian drones, more than 7,600 radios and 123 repeaters. This creates a powerful civilian communications and response network.

Digital platforms further allow civilian volunteers to coordinate patrols, report incidents, share photographs and videos, gather information, and request assistance.

SPECIALIST CAPABILITIES

Depending on local needs, structures can develop capabilities including teams to manage civilian drones, K9s, fire and emergency response, communications, search and rescue, tracking, information and medical support.

THE PRINCIPLE

Communities do not have to remain passive in the face emergencies and of crime.

Through lawful organization, training, technology, and cooperation with police and emergency services, communities can become better prepared, more resilient and more capable of helping themselves and others.

The goal is simple: develop the people, skills and infrastructure that are needed to respond effectively when every second matters.
