Where Tsamaya works

7 metros mapped, 3,254 risk zones.

Tsamaya is live across Gauteng (Johannesburg, Pretoria, Ekurhuleni and the West Rand), Cape Town, Stellenbosch and Secunda. Every mapped area is rated for daytime, evening and night, and every figure on this page comes straight from the live database rather than being typed in.

The shape of the map

Mapped areas per metro

Zone counts follow the size and density of each metro, not how thoroughly it has been covered. Stellenbosch has 32 zones because it is a small town, not because it is half-finished.

Questions

About coverage

What happens if I drive outside a mapped metro?

The app still works as a normal map and turn-by-turn navigator anywhere. It simply has no risk data to apply, and it tells you that rather than implying an unmapped road has been checked and found safe.

Does blank map mean an area is safe?

No, and this distinction matters. A blank area means no data. An area rated in the lowest band means it was checked and carries no routing penalty. The app shows those differently on purpose.

How often is the data updated?

Zones and corridors are re-scored periodically as new crime statistics are published, and corrections from local knowledge are applied continuously. The app pulls changes automatically, so you do not need to reinstall it.

Which metro is next?

New metros are added as funding allows, since each one means fetching map data, scoring it against crime statistics and a review pass before anything goes live. Sponsorship directly determines the pace.

Help us map the next metro.

Each new city means map data, crime scoring and a review pass before it goes live. Sponsorship is what decides which one is next.
