According to the Global Initiative Against Transnational Organised Crime, South Africa has the largest pool of illegal firearms in Southern Africa with an estimated 2.35 million of such weapons in circulation.
The third quarter crime statistics released by the police ministry last week showed that 7555 people were murdered between October and December 2022. And that 3 144 of the murders were committed with firearms.by tracking stolen guns and locating them wherever they are in the country. “If it is about ballistic testing every firearm and then keeping a record of those firearms that would be quiet a detailed and involved process where every single firearm would have to be handed in, fired and then handed back, if that’s what they are talking about. If they are talking about just registering the firearm in terms of who the owner is, the make of the firearm etc, the central firearm registry already keeps a database like this.
“Provinces do not have the power to do their own things. So, my understanding is that Gauteng could not decide…because all the registration happens at national level. It goes to the firearms registering. As a local in Gauteng, I would go to my local cop station and apply for a competency, but the license is issued by national and not by the provincial .”The Police Ministry says it has managed to permanently remove and destroy about 65 519 firearms.

Panyaza will say anything to sound like he’s doing something while doing nothing… Possible planning a scheme for tender to pass to AND cadre
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Put back death penalty, it will stop lot of rubbish
I don't think that will solve problems, because firearms will move from other Province to Gauteng. Unless this idea will cover all Provinces
You sometimes wonder how they come up with these genius ideas... While watching Paw Patrol? Whilst coloring in? Then with no idea how to execute. Blurt it out in public forums. 🤦 A new promise has just been born. 🥚
