This week on GFSA we're looking at police repression during the lockdown. If your rights have been violated or you’ve witnessed police brutality – YOU CAN REPORT IT! #SilenceTheGuns #LockDownSA

The abuses of power and inappropriate use of force by the security forces, including the SAPS is not new: rather it shows the systemic nature of poor policing, training and lack of accountability within the SAPS. #SilenceTheGuns #LockdownSA

When we speak about abuse, a bystander is a witness to a form of violence. There are many day-to-day situations that we can find ourselves in that create a culture in which GBV can occur. Have you found yourself in any of the situations in our infographic👇🏽?

Guns out of our homes
Gun Free SA (@GunFreeSA) profile pictureGun Free SA@GunFreeSA6 May 2020
What can you do to help keep a lethal weapon from a suicidal person? Store guns securely: Not having guns at home is safest. But if this isn’t an option: • Store guns locked and unloaded. #SilenceTheGunsSA #lockdownextension
