On April 27th, we unite to celebrate 30 years of freedom!
A significant milestone that honours the courageous souls who paved the way for our democracy, human dignity, and every South African’s right to a better life.
At CyberM8, we believe that freedom doesn’t just live at the ballot box.
In today’s vibrant digital age, freedom needs to ripple across our online experiences as well!
🖥️ As we log into a world overflowing with possibilities, true freedom means being empowered to explore, learn, and connect safely and confidently. But here’s the reality: millions of South Africans, especially our most vulnerable communities, navigate an online landscape fraught with risks that threaten their safety, rights, and privacy.
🔒 The Importance of POPIA
This Freedom Day, we also reflect on the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA), a vital law designed to safeguard your right to privacy. Just as our constitution enshrines dignity and human rights, POPIA empowers you to control your personal data and decide who gets to access it.
As we celebrate our transition to democracy, let’s not forget that your digital freedom is foundational—it ensures your voice is heard and your information is protected. This is a critical component of being a free and equal citizen in today’s interconnected world.
🔐 That’s why CyberM8 is on a mission!
We’re forging a path to a safer digital South Africa for everyone—through education, advocacy, and empowerment.
