The spirit of the community
The Live feed celebrates Gauteng: its events, places and people. Post things that are useful, accurate and respectful. These Guidelines form part of the Terms of Service. Breaking them can lead to content removal or account suspension.

Unlawful content, or content that incites violence or hatred.

Hate speech or unfair discrimination on grounds such as race, gender, religion, sexual orientation or disability.

Harassment, bullying, threats, or sharing someone's private information without consent.

Sexual content, and anything that sexualises children (which we report to the authorities).

Your content
You keep ownership of what you post. By posting, you grant the GTA the licence described in the Terms of Service, and you confirm that you own the content or are entitled to post it.
Moderation and reporting
Posts may be reviewed before they appear in the Live feed. Content selected or pinned by the GTA is held to a higher editorial standard. To report a post, comment or message, use the report option where it is shown, or email admin@visitgauteng.net with a link or screenshot. We review reports and act on valid notices under the Notice & Takedown Policy.
Privacy of others
Do not post other people's personal information, or clearly identifiable photos of them, without their consent. If you appear in content on the Platform and want it removed, contact us and we will deal with your request under POPIA.
Consequences
Depending on how serious the breach is, we may remove content, warn you, restrict your posting, or suspend or close your account, and we may report unlawful content to the authorities.
