In February 2023 GFSA gave official notice that class action proceedings were to be instituted on behalf of affected families to hold the police accountable for deaths and injuries resulting from failed police-controlled firearms management systems.
This Briefing provides additional information on the class action, the ineffectuality of institutions to hold the police accountable, and the implications of this for firearms management, and overall safety and security in SA.
Gun Free South Africa (GFSA) is a South African NGO committed to reducing gun violence through public policy advocacy, education, awareness and community mobilisation.
Did you know? Gun-Free Zones are part of a global initiative proven to reduce violence 🌍. Together with local police, we’re creating spaces where everyone feels safe. Let’s build more zones in South Africa! #GunFreeSA #GunFreeZones

Some kids grow up surrounded by guns or gun violence, where guns feel like a normal part of life. What if we could rewrite their story & usher in a generation that sees the world differently? It’s not a real book, but it’s a real idea 🫶 https://gfsa.org.za/take-action/
