Non-profit organisation Gun Free South Africa says the public’s lack of confidence in the police is hampering the government’s efforts to fight crime in the country.

Gun Free South Africa Director Adèle Kirsten says, “Many of us have been victims of crime. There is no trust between the people and the police. There are significant weaknesses in capacity and responsiveness. So, what is the leading cause of murder in this country? It’s gun-related murders. Thirty-four people are being shot and killed every single day. A gun is, you know, a powerful weapon.

The province is home to 8 of the top 30 murder stations in the country. Khayelitsha, Delft, and Nyanga are among them.“We will be convening an urgent engagement with relevant stakeholders to interrogate these results. As much as the law enforcement component will be discussed, there will also be a particular focus on violence prevention.

Apartheid police would have managed to take guns from people.🤞.

I think the statement is a bit backwards... I think the government's efforts to fight crime is hampered by their complete lack of political will to establish a police force the public can have confidence in....

Don't expect assistance from the public. The Hatmans blue uniforms protect drug lords and lately it has been proven that they are just as involved in crime as the criminals. We have no confidence in them especially while the incompetent Mr Cele is in charge.

Guns free SA is not recognized by the public.

Until they talk about the police conditions of working i will never take them seriously

'Lack of confidence' extreme understatement.

GFSA is a leftist communist organisation propagating the disarmament of civilians to make criminals the only ones to have firearms in their possession. Treat them with the disgust they deserve.

Makes total sense😂
