SAMNET works against prejudice, intolerance, hate and violence in all its forms — naming Islamophobia accurately, recording it, and meeting it with an effective response.
Prejudice that goes unrecorded does not exist as far as policy, policing or the courts are concerned, and that absence is routinely used as evidence that there is no problem. If you have experienced or witnessed an incident, report it — the date, the place, and what was said or done, with screenshots where you have them — to info@samnet.co.za or WhatsApp 084 333 3979.
