Gun Free SA urges government to protect police and their families by legislating members to leave service pistols at work when off duty. Gun Free SA’s call follows the shooting to death of 5 people on Wednesday night, when a police constable shot and killed his girlfriend, two of her relatives and a police colleague at Alexandra police station as she tried to open a domestic abuse case against him; the constable was later killed by police.
Gun Free South Africa (GFSA) is a South African NGO committed to reducing gun violence through public policy advocacy, education, awareness and community mobilisation.

This Valentine’s Day, we remember Reeva Steenkamp, whose life was tragically cut short 12 years ago. A gun in the hand of her boyfriend took her from us, and her story remains a stark reminder of the deadly role firearms play in intimate partner violence. https://gfsa.org.za/2018/12/12/remove-a-gun-in-a-case-of-domestic-violence/
