Western Cape’s Firearm Amnesty campaign 'proves to be a success'

We closed off the show with an interview with Senior Superintendent Billy Jones - SAPS Western Cape Media Liaison Officer. We were talking about the SAPS Western Cape’s Firearm Amnesty campaign. On the 11th of January, Police Minister Nathi Mthethwa launched a new firearms amnesty campaign, which will end on the 11th of April. According to reports, during this period anyone can hand over their unlicensed firearms to the police without prosecution, provided the guns were not used in a crime. Superintendent Billy Jones says illegal gun owners should rather make an appointment before handing in their firearms in case one is stopped by police on the way to the police station. He says the campaign is proving to be successful for now. For more information on how you can hand in your firearm contact a nearest Police Station.
