"In the past five financial years, 3, 405 official police firearms were stolen or went missing, while between 2005 and 2017, 26, 025 firearms that were issued to police officers were stolen or could simply not be accounted for, according to a City Press report."

And then they wonder why crime is up?

Now you can see that Bheki was a joke as police minister

R4 & R5 can only be from SAPS or SANDF. Connect the dots and find the problem.

Now we're sending a clear message to the forces of evil....don't mess with law enforcement, you have a good chance of not enjoying the fruits of your mission. KZN also doing well in this regard lately.
