What GeoKeys is
GeoKeys is a media brand. We publish map-driven research and commentary about South African places, systems, and governance — through video, writing, and visual storytelling on our website and on platforms like YouTube, TikTok, and LinkedIn. GeoKeys is operated by a sole proprietor based in South Africa.
Acceptable use
You may read, watch, and share our content for personal, non-commercial use. When using the site, you agree not to:
- Break any law, or use the site to harm, harass, or defraud others.
- Copy, scrape, republish, or resell our content as your own.
- Attempt to disrupt, overload, hack, or gain unauthorised access to the site or its systems.

Intellectual property
Everything on this site — the writing, scripts, maps, data visualisations, video, graphics, and the GeoKeys name and marks — is owned by GeoKeys or used with permission. You may not reproduce or reuse it commercially without written consent. Short quotes or clips are fine if you credit GeoKeys and link back. Underlying public datasets remain the property of their original sources.
No warranty
GeoKeys content is editorial and informational. It is commentary and research made for a general audience — not professional, legal, financial, planning, or investment advice. We work to be accurate, but we make no guarantee that the site or its content is complete, current, or error-free. Don't rely on it for decisions that need a qualified professional. The site is provided "as is."
Third-party links
The site may link to other websites, sources, and platforms we don't control. We share them for reference and context. We're not responsible for their content, accuracy, or practices, and a link is not an endorsement. Visiting them is at your own risk and under their terms.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent allowed by law, GeoKeys is not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of — or inability to use — the site or its content, including indirect or consequential loss. Some rights under South African consumer law cannot be excluded, and nothing here limits those.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms from time to time. When we do, we'll change the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of South Africa, and any dispute falls under the jurisdiction of the South African courts.
