South Africa now has an app tailored to tackle racism.
Launched by the Ahmed Kathrada Foundation, Zimele Racism Reporting app known as ZiRRA, is giving individuals a chance to report cases of racism countrywide.
And with just a week after its release, the app has notched up 180 downloads, and more than17 incidents of racism have already been reported.
The app has been ranked fifth on the Google Play store and has over 21 users making use of the app daily.
“The app enables those who experience or witness racism to do something about it and speak out about this injustice. It is also used to inform individuals about different types of racism and serves as a system for monitoring racist trends in SA,” Bongani Makhubo, anti-racism programme manager at the Ahmed Kathrada Foundation told the iWeb.
The app is free-to-download on Google Play store and once downloaded, users click on the ‘Report Racism’ tab to report a matter that either happened to them or someone else.
