Cape Town - Police destroyed about 23 000 firearms - a move Gun Free South Africa (GFSA) welcomed.

GFSA director Adele Kirsten said, “Destroying these guns takes them out of circulation and this helps make our communities safer.”

Sonke Gender Justice’s Nonhlanhla Skosana said the destruction of illegal guns talks to the lives of women, because many women are shot and killed by their partners.
