The South African Panic Button app is a *private safety tool*, designed for individuals in South Africa needing immediate assistance in emergency situations. *This app is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or representative of any government entity*. With user safety at its core, this app empowers users with two critical features.

Key Features
1. _Location Check_: Users can easily view their current location, helping them understand their whereabouts for self-awareness or to communicate their position effectively.
2. _Panic Button_: A discreet, one-tap panic alert triggers an immediate notification to designated admins. Upon activation, the user's precise location is shared with admins, enabling swift coordination of help – whether it's emergency services, security personnel, or trusted contacts.
