To make use of the best technology available, AfriForum teamed up with TrackBox Technologies \u2013 a company with a proven track record \u2013 to offer the emergency button and service. TrackBox\u2019s existing emergency partners include the SAPS, the Hawks, the K9 Unit, 10111 centres, Netcare 911, ER24, the Fire and Rescue Departments, advanced life support, the eThekwini Municipality and the City of Cape Town.<\/p>\n<p>The AfriForum 911 TrackBox emergency app can be downloaded onto your cell phone to change it into a panic button. The app links you directly to any applicable service provider across South Africa. The app also allows you to report suspicious activities as well as to upload GPS-supported warnings. It doesn\u2019t matter where you are: You can be found and helped!<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cBy using the information that you upload to the AfriForum 911 TrackBox app, the control room can inform the emergency units to enable them to manage your emergency efficiently,\u201d explains Cameron.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Cameron concludes by saying that the app is a major step forward for AfriForum 911, but especially for AfriForum members who now have access to the best panic button technologies available.<\/p>\n<p>Visit the website for more information: <a
