Help for deaf community just one app away

A new service that gives deaf and hard of hearing residents direct access to the City of Cape Town’s public emergency communications centre (PECC), sends a message to the deaf community that their lives matter.
These were the words of disability and women’s rights activist and CEO of the Artscape Theatre Centre, Marlene le Roux, at the launch of the new functionality, which can be accessed on the City’s mobile app.
