Indian-owned private security companies are being investigated for allegedly lending guns to civilians during the unrest in Phoenix. unrestSA phoenix security PostKZN

"The companies that were being investigated for their alleged role in the violence that engulfed Phoenix were KZN VIP Security, Royal Protection, Reaction Unit South Africa and Sealen Security," said Themba.During a media briefing at Inanda police station last Tuesday, Police Minister General Bheki Cele said the SAPS were working closely with Psira.

"There will be a lot of uphills. For instance, we will find that the guns are legal and belong to a particular company but in the hands of the wrong person. We are going to be tough on the companies who have allowed their businesses to be abused in terms of borrowing firearms out." Another source said it was premature for the minister to mention the names of the security companies without having the results of the ballistics test.

Mary de Haas, an independent violence monitor and a social scientist, said the police and Psira would conduct different investigations.
