Armed Response: South Africa's Gun Violence

  • South Africa is awash with illegal firearms. The types of violent crime that are on the rise - such as cash in transit heists, armed robberies, assassinations - share one common factor: the ready availability of illegal guns that allow the perpetrators to kill, maim and intimidate.
    The minibus taxi industry is at the centre of much of the violence in the country’s increasingly unstable KwaZulu-Natal province. And it is a source of hardened gunmen-for-hire. Hitmen and enforcers who make their bones in the taxi industry account for nearly half of the targeted assassinations in South Africa.
    A lack of proper regulation of the industry means competitors often turn to violence to resolve conflicts, increasing the demand for illegal firearms. In Cape Town alone, at least 80 people have reportedly lost their lives in taxi violence this year.
    Taxis from South Africa also operate across the border, taking customers into neighbouring states. Historically, this has given certain operators access to firearms smuggled into the country from Mozambique, which enables them to increase their own standing and influence within the industry.
    The involvement of police officials in the supply of firearms to taxi operators is another cause for concern. Police do not just rent guns to members of the taxi industry, they also sell industry players their police-issue firearms as well as other weapons seized in the course of their work. But it is not only police firearms that have found their way into the taxi industry. Weapons from the South African National Defence Force and private security companies have also ended up there.
    The quantities of weapons in circulation, the violence and killings can be compared to some of the world’s most serious conflict zones.

      I agree, however the core problem exists within the police force. Antiquated and historic filing systems allow a gross amount of incompetence and corruption to occur. Sadly in my experience there is little to no drive for service excellence from the bottom, and no ambition to change, modernize, improve, from the top.

    I am a South African and thankfully I still have "legal" firearms in my possession. I carry them 24/7. We have had a number of firearms amnesties where the ANC Government have successfully disarmed a significant number of civilians. The aim has been two-fold: 1. No corrupt Government wants armed civilians who can rise up against them. 2. The Police receiving these firearms need to sell them to gangsters to earn a real income. And this is no joke. I know people who were charged with armed robbery after handing their firearms in. Justice and Truth should prevail, but if not ... bring it on!!

    There's no doubt there are some badass cops in SA, but everyone pretty much knows that when you're in trouble, you call private security first, and IF you have the time, you call the police. Calling the police and hoping someone competent will respond is too high a risk. Every tax paying South African must carry arms, and when injustice becomes law, and a criminal government takes away your right to defend yourself, resistance becomes duty. Want to know how South Africa can become a safer place over-night? Give SA it's own 2nd amendment.

      In 2008 the police in durbanville had one car for call outs for the entire suburb. They took three hours to respond. Pvt security is at best 10 minutes away but in that period you have to defend yourself . Or you can be" righteous", be anti self defence and hope you can hold your bedroom door shut as the criminals throw themselves against it trying to access your family for torture and degradation as happened in aurora, cape town. One break in in old oak suburb they discussed r*ping the wife at the end of home invasion ( family tied up) and only didn't because gang leader decided they were out of time.

Or they might just spike your coffee with sleeping meds and place a bag over you while you are unconscious. The world is a very unpleasant place and it is even worse for those who choose to be "harmless", to the point of refusing to own the tools necessary to defend themselves.

      Quote "If firearms are outlawed, only outlaws will have firearms" unquote. South Africa is on the way to that situation.
      I pose the question; Could it be that we are, in fact, ruled by outlaws? If not, then why are the law-abiding firearm owners taxed and targeted with laws and regulations aimed at disarming them when the vast majority of firearm related crimes are committed with illegal firearms obtained from various Police and Military sources?
      Could the ultimate aim possibly be to make the public at large powerless against criminals?
      Consider the poor performance of security forces in controlling crime and violence, and compare that to what private citizens achieved in protecting property and maintaining order during the unrest in KZN and Gauteng a year ago. And that without all the resources of command, control and logistics of Governmental agencies! With very meager supplies of arms and ammunition (all privately owned and legal).

    Well, firstly the Police would need to purge criminal elements from their critical departments (like the Central Firearms Registry) and later on ALL departments. Secondly they drastically need to modernize their systems and build in the necessary checks and balances to eliminate corruption and theft within the SAPS. Then they would need to build up a Police Service that is fit, focused, efficient, competent and well-informed. You don't get this by recruiting below par, but by recruiting THE best, so the SAPS would need to entice the most promising individuals with decent remuneration packages and growth potential scales. All whilst implementing integrated (high availability) intelligence databases (fingerprints, DNA, criminals, repeat offenders, known associates, criminal suspects, informants, etc.) as tools with which they can combat crime more effectively.
    All of this will take a lot of time and even more effort. Getting help from the U.S. would go a long way in achieving this, btw.
    So, to address the shortfall of what can be done by the SAPS whilst they are restructuring, it is just logical that the government should actively encourage its citizens to equip themselves not only with measures to defend themselves but with sufficient training to be competent at defending themselves.
    There is a wide variety of self defense measures. from security gates, electric fences, armed response and panic buttons to pepper spray, non-lethal weapons, hand to hand combat skill training, firearm training, legal firearm ownership and personal security guards.

    I was in South Africa twice during the 1970's. There was none, or very little of this type of violence. As a child I can still remember the carnival @ Cape town. There were no armed guards and I felt safe. Now South Africa has denigrated into this chaos. Why? Can it be hundreds of years of tribal violence? No wonder Apartheid existed. Whites saw an entire Continent dominated by this relic. And they kept peace. This was of course unfair. But necessary. Sometimes, in the name of fairness, people die. Is it worth it? Is South Africa moving forward over a sea of corpses? I suppose the answer is yes. I am glad neither I, nor my family have to face this battle. I will never go back.
