Our story
🛡️
BUILT IN UPINGTON.
FOR UPINGTON.

Why we
built this.

Crime in Upington happens fast. Reporting it shouldn't be slow, confusing, or feel pointless. The national apps are built in Johannesburg by people who've never walked our streets.

UPT Crime Alert is built by JM CYBER SPACE (Pty) Ltd — a technology company founded and based in Upington, Northern Cape. We live here. We know Louisvale, Paballelo, and Rosedale. We built this because our community deserves it.

  • 100% free — no subscriptions, no paywalls, ever
  • Built and maintained by a Upington founder
  • Real incidents reported day one of launch
  • POPIA-compliant — your privacy is protected
  • Spreading organically across multiple provinces

The founder

Jason — Founder & CEO

"We deserve to feel safe in our own town. I built this because I believe technology can give our community the same tools that big cities take for granted — and I built it free, because safety shouldn't have a price tag."

— Jason, Founder & CEO, JM CYBER SPACE (Pty) Ltd
