Flyer headed "SUPPORT, SOLIDARITY & STAYING SAFE" We refuse attempts to divide communities through fear, scapegoating, & lies. If xenophobic groups are gathering near you, here are precautions you could take: « Avoid confrontations with large groups. « Check in on neighbours, friends, & local shopkeepers who may feel vulnerable. « Stay aware of gathering points & avoid march routes. « Rather travel in groups than go anywhere alone during the march. « Paranoia is dangerous: Do not spread rumours or unverified WhatsApp messages - rather spread solidarity & support. « If tensions rise, leave the area early rather & alert SAPS immediately « Keep phones charged & emergency contacts available. « If safe to do so, record incidents & report to the police & other organisations afterwards (see contact details below). Work together with friends & community. Solidarity keeps people safer than panic or isolation. * SAPS: Dial 10111 for all police emergencies * SECTION27: Legal Assistance: +27 (0)11 356 4100 * Xenowatch - documenting xenophobia: Send a WhatsApp to +27 (0) 63 839 0124 including as much detail as possible: Location, Short description of the incident, Time of incident, Attach photos or videos. o Also send details to Kopanang Africa Against Xenophobia (KAAX) at report@kaax.org.za “SOUTH AFRICA BELONGS TO ALL WHO LIVE IN IT, UNITED IN OUR DIVERSITY." - PREAMBLE OF THE SOUTH AFRICAN CONSTITUTION; NO AFRICAN IS ILLEGAL IN AFRICA.
