Gun Free South Africa has welcomed the swift action which was taken by Gauteng police.

This is after two senior police officers from the Central Firearms Registry were suspended with immediate effect on Sunday.

The two officers were suspended for their involvement in bribery and corruption relating to firearm licensing. 

Spokesperson for Gun Free South Africa Claire Taylor said that two most senior officials at the central firearms registry for alleged fraud, bribery and corruption their suspension reiterates gun free South Africa’s call for an immediate moratorium on the issuing of all gun licenses, permits and certificates.

“Because until the police find how bad it is only then can they take appropriate action,” added Taylor.
