 A document distributed just received by the Democratic Alliance reveals that of the 740 firearms listed as lost for 2011-12, 352 were lost due to negligence and a further 388 were lost under the category of bona fide category of losses. 

 
The DA says this finally answers some of their questions as to how are South African Police Services firearms go missing. 

 
The majority of losses are categorized as a general negligent loss with no explanation.

 DA Shadow Minister of Police Dianne Kohler Barnard said most of these firearms are out there being used to commit crime and the authorities need to give clarity of what actions have been taken against those found guilty of loosing their firearms.
