Online safety for South African children, in the languages they speak

SafeNet SA is a digital child-safety platform built for South African families. Its AI guardian, Luna, detects cyberbullying, grooming and online scams on WhatsApp and social apps, and speaks both English and isiZulu.

Protection that understands South Africa

Most parental-control apps only scan for English keywords. SafeNet's Luna AI is trained on South African languages, slang and cultural context, so it catches cyberbullying in isiZulu, phishing in Afrikaans and grooming patterns specific to South Africa. Every link a child receives is checked before they tap it, blocking fake SASSA grant scams, phishing sites and adult content. When a threat is found, parents get a real-time alert, on average within 0.3 seconds, and can block the app, pause the internet, or call their child with one tap. You can watch the live demo to see Luna catch a threat in real time, or talk to Luna directly.

Private by design, POPIA-compliant

SafeNet runs its analysis on the child's device. Message content never leaves the phone and is never stored, parents see only threat alerts, never the chats themselves. This makes SafeNet POPIA-compliant by architecture, not as an afterthought. According to UNICEF South Africa, one in three South African children face cyberbullying, and 94% of teens access the internet by smartphone. SafeNet is built in partnership with the guidance of Childline South Africa and follows the POPIA framework for data protection.
