SAPS approaches Parliament for new amnesty period for public to hand in firearms

The SAPS informed the committee that a total of 27 336 firearms were surrendered during the 2019/2020 amnesty period, which was far below the number of firearms surrendered during the 2005 amnesty that was declared for the same period of six months.

The committee heard that granting another amnesty period would afford communities another opportunity to surrender illegal and unwanted firearms and/or ammunition, in an effort to curb the proliferation of illegal firearms in circulation. The aim of the amnesty is to reduce the number of illegally possessed firearms in circulation in South Africa, to provide firearm owners the opportunity to hand in unwanted firearms, to prevent crime and violence and promote safety, and to address the fundamental causes of crime in order to effectively protect communities and ensure that people living in South Africa feel safe and have no fear of crime.

From the little I understand, the office of the PublicProtector does do good work in the low-profile cases that really helps people. As soon as it is a high-profile case with political implications, the office's record of winning court cases is very bad.
