The multibillion-rand local gun industry has not been spared from the supply chain disruptions faced by many industries as a result of the covid-19 pandemic and the Russia/Ukraine conflict.

Industry players say the poor service delivery at the Central Firearms Registry at the South African Police Service has added to their frustrations. This is on top of logistic challenges in shipping and delays at ports hindering imports of firearms.

This gun shop in the north of Johannesburg says it recorded an increase in people interested in buying guns. “Definitely from Covid and obviosuly the looting that happened we have seen a huge spike, a definite increase in self defence firearms and people who have come in and said they never wanted to own a gun, but it’s now time own a gun for self defence”, says Keelan Fuller of Tactical HQ.

“It’s the only equaliser that I can think of. We live in a country where crime is going up and the only thing that equalises the situation is if you get a gun, cause more often than not, actually 90% of the attacks be it in homes, farm attacks and whatever, those guys are armed”,says Khalamani Protection’s Themba Kubheka.Firearm instructor Dylan Hadassin says he has seen an increase in the number of people requiring training, especially from women.
