Cape Town - The police force admitted on Tuesday that a lack of discipline and weapon control was "worrying", after it came to light that police had "lost" 20 429 weapons since April 2004.
Top management couldn't say in Parliament on Tuesday how many officials had been criminally prosecuted, disciplined or fired due to the losses.
...
"The Firearms Control Act puts a huge responsibility on citizens but an official can lose one weapon, a second and a third weapon and still keep his firearm licence. But if I lose my weapon, it is another matter," said Annelize van Wyk of the ANC.
She said the conditions were much stricter for civilians than for police officials. "If you take into account all the losses, police are responsible for the increase in illegal firearms."

Mmm yeah, these numbers are meaningless.
I am astonished at the blatent re-distribution of weapons. It's so in your face that they're taking from the law abiding citizens under threat, and GIVING them to the criminals, who then roib and kill the citizens.
THAT is what 94 has done to this country, more than anything else.
That's an average of 7 weapons a day being lost...... and with a SAPS "force" of approx 190000 that means that 1 out of every 10 SAPS member is losing a firearm.....
Yeah, it's institutionalised to a degree, of criminal negligence.
And remember how all the old white aunties gave in their old guns by the thousands?
peace
