Bush Radio Interns took to the street to ask the public about the rise in missing police guns.

Gang violence in the Western Cape is at an all-time high because gangs now have unlicensed guns and people are wondering if are these gangsters are working with the police to get these guns. There have been reports saying over 4357 police guns have gone missing or stolen from the police over the past years. These figures were revealed by the minister of police Bheki Cele when his was recently asked by the FF Plus leader Mr. Pieter Groenewald.

The amount of these lost guns is shocking and most of the public believe the police might be working with the police. The FF Plus leader said “no wonder violent crime is out of control, the police service seems to be the biggest provider of illegal ammunition”. In Cape Town recently police seized four police fire arms from an Elsies River gang. Reports says the top 3 provinces with large number of missing police guns and ammunition are Eastern Cape, Western Cape and the Gauteng province.

Minister Bheki Cele said that the government wants to impose stricter conditions for the possession of firearms for self-defense in an attempt to reduce violent crimes.
