What is SA Says?

A public opinion polling platform built for South Africans. We ask the questions everyone's debating at the braai, in the taxi, and around the office. Take surveys and vote on polls that shape the national conversation.

Anonymous Polls

No login, no registration, no hassle. Your vote on every poll and survey is completely anonymous. We never collect personal information. Not even your gogo's name.

One Phone, One Vote

Each device gets one vote per poll. No ballot stuffing, no funny business. Fair voting across South Africa, like a proper democratic braai vote.

Location-Based Surveys

Some polls use your GPS to show survey results by province, municipality, and ward. See if Joburg agrees with Cape Town (spoiler: they never do).

Real-Time Results

After voting, view live poll results broken down nationally and by your area. Compare how your hood voted against the rest of Mzansi.

Anonymous by design. Precise by data.

Most polls make you choose between privacy and useful data. We built SA Says so you don't have to — your phone carries an anonymous ID, and your vote is placed on the map without ever being placed on you.

An anonymous ID chip

Your phone generates a scrambled ID of its own. It's not your name, your number or your SIM — just a random token that means nothing outside the app.

One phone, one vote

That ID is what stops a poll being stuffed. Each phone counts once per poll, so results reflect people — not whoever shouts loudest.

Placed by region, not by pin

On location polls we turn your GPS into a ward, municipality and province, then throw the coordinates away. Your area is recorded. Your address never is.

Sharper national data

Because every vote lands in a real region, results can be cut by ward, municipality or province — far more useful than one national number.

Never attached to your vote:

  • Name
  • Email
  • Phone number
  • SIM / IMEI
  • GPS coordinates

Easy as 1-2-3

Win prizes while you vote

Voting already gives your phone an anonymous ID — which means we can run prize draws without knowing a single thing about you. No forms, no entry fee, no extra sign-up. Vote, and you're in.

Best odds you'll ever get

SA Says is new, so the pool of entries is still small. Every South African who joins from here makes the draws bigger — getting in early is genuinely the best shot you'll have.

1

You're Already In

Every anonymous device already has an ID from voting, so there's nothing extra to sign up for. Draws are open to voters aged 18 and over.

2

Random Draw

When a giveaway runs, we draw a winning device ID at random from everyone eligible — no personal info needed to enter or to draw.

3

You're Notified

If your device is drawn, you get an in-app notification with a claim code and a set window of time to claim your prize.

4

Claim In Time

Claim your prize before the window closes. If it's not claimed in time, a new winner is drawn automatically.

Didn't claim in time? No stress — a new winner gets drawn, so a prize never just disappears.

Your privacy matters

SA Says does not collect your name, email, or any identifying information. Anonymous voting is at our core. Location data (when used for surveys) is only stored as your province, municipality, and ward — never your exact coordinates. We're nosy about your opinions, not your personal life.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is SA Says and how does it work?

SA Says is a free, anonymous polling and survey app built for South Africans. Open the app, tap your answer on a public poll, and instantly see how the rest of the country — or just your area — voted. No account, login, or personal information required.

Is SA Says really anonymous — do I need to sign up?

Yes, it's genuinely anonymous. SA Says requires no registration, login, email, or phone number. You can open the app and start voting on polls immediately with no personal information collected.

Is SA Says free to use?

Yes. SA Says is completely free to download and use on both the App Store and Google Play, with no subscriptions, paywalls, or in-app purchases required to vote or view results.

How does the one-phone, one-vote system work?

Each device is allowed a single vote per poll, tracked by an anonymous device identifier rather than any personal account. This prevents ballot stuffing while keeping the whole process anonymous.

Can I see poll results for my province or municipality?

Yes. For location-based polls, SA Says can break down results by province, municipality, and ward, so you can compare how your area voted against the rest of South Africa.

Does SA Says use my location, and is that data safe?

Location access is optional and only used for polls tagged as location-based. SA Says never stores your exact GPS coordinates — only the derived province, municipality, and ward, in line with South Africa's POPIA privacy law.

Is SA Says affiliated with any political party or government body?

No. SA Says is an independent public opinion platform, not affiliated with any political party, candidate, or government institution. It's a space for South Africans to weigh in on everyday topics as well as national issues, not an official electoral tool.

Can I submit my own poll idea?

Yes. Email your poll idea to polls@sasays.co.za. Submissions are reviewed to make sure they're relevant and fair before going live to the public.

What makes SA Says different from other South African polling and survey apps?

Unlike paid-survey apps that reward you for your data, SA Says doesn't pay for opinions or collect personal information at all. There's no sign-up, no data trading, and no political affiliation — just a fast, anonymous way to see what South Africans really think.

Is my personal information ever shared or sold?

No. SA Says does not collect personally identifiable information in the first place, so there is nothing to share or sell. Poll responses are tied only to an anonymous device identifier and, where applicable, a general geographic region.

Does SA Says run prize giveaways?

Yes. From time to time, SA Says runs random prize giveaways. Every anonymous device already has an ID from voting, so we can enter and draw winners at random without ever knowing who anyone is.

How do I claim a prize if I win?

If your device is drawn, you'll get an in-app notification with a claim code and a set window of time to claim it. If it's not claimed in time, a new winner is drawn at random.

Ready to have your say?

From load shedding to boerewors, the questions are already up and waiting. Download SA Says free, add your voice, and get yourself into the next prize draw — it takes about ten seconds.
