Lusanda Bill
24 March 2011

Minister Nathi Mthethwa says a Police Inspectorate will in future monitor members’ firearm management.

Mthethwa says this will improve firearm control and curb losses.

Since 2005 one-and-a-half-thousand police members who lost their firearms have been issued with new firearms.

The Minister added that every time a police member loses his or her firearm, there must be a full investigation.

The police force is also considering not issuing another firearm to the member, pending the outcome of the investigation.
