Minister of Police Nathi Mthethwa has hit back at statements made by Gun Owners of SA against the ministry for not paying compensation to people who willingly hand over their firearms to police between January 11 and April 11.
The Minister says Section 137 of the Firearms Control Act only provides for compensation to be considered in cases where the registrar decides to keep the forfeited firearms for use by the state.
Mthethwa was responding to statements made by Gosa, in which the organisation accused him of avoiding paying compensation to gun owners.
