#The Main Switch presenter Kgomotso Monyai has a conversation with Ministry of Police spokesperson, Lirandzu Themba. Lirandzu provides information about the amendment to the draft of the Firearms Control Amendment Bill,signed by president Cyril Ramaphosa. The law, if passed, will bring new limits on the amount of ammunition gun owners may hold, and on how many firearms hunters and sport shooters may possess.

The law would also provide for firearms to be seized from anyone charged with domestic violence or harassment, under a system in which their licenses are suspended.

She further unpacks how we can prevent the infestation of unlicensed guns, and their illegal trade.
