Gun tracking ‘impractical’NICOLE MCCAIN
@nickymccain
A section of the Firearms Control ActAmendment Bill is in the firing line.
The amendment proposes a new trackingsystem for guns by rolling out the use of mi-crodots and ballistic sampling.Ballistic sampling and microdots will be
used on all guns held by official institutions,including the police.Within a year of the date of the bill, police
will have to have all firearms logged. Theballistic loggingwill then be rolled out to thesecurity industry and lastly to private gunowners during their relicensing.
StriationsBut firearm owner and dealer Alan Mar-
theze says ballistic sampling is a measurethat only works faultlessly on TV shows, asstriations on a cartridge do not remain thesame indefinitely.Ben Coetzee, arms management project
manager of the Institute for Security Stud-ies, says the striations on a cartridge willchange with use over time.“They can also be altered because of rust
from a lack of maintenance and care or evenby cleaning the weapon with brushes andscrapers that are harder than the surfacesthey are used on,” he explains.Traceability Solutions’ Kyle Parker, who
specialises in the marking, managementand reporting of weapons, says it is not diffi-cult to purposely alter these striations.“Even firing pins can be swapped, filed
and altered as the criminal wishes,” he says.Cartridges are also often refilled by industryprofessionals and used again, which makesregistering a specific striation to one ownerimpossible, Martheze says.Parker says: “Part of the amendment also
mentions so much about microdoting,
which I am sure gun owners will not like ei-ther. Thesemicrodots can be removed easilyby criminals by putting the weapon intosome pool acid for a bit and then they aregone.”Using microdots to trace firearms is just
as impractical, Martheze believes, as stan-dard gun cleaning will easily removemicro-dots over time.
ImplementationThe implementation of the amendment
bill poses challenges too, Coetzee believes.Testing firearms will require them to be
brought to a specific testing location.“The most serious concern is the number
of firearms that will be congregated at a spe-cific point for the test to be performed. Secu-rity during these tests will be a nightmare,and every person that is on his way to thetest site will be at risk,” he says.The manpower to carry out tests is also
lacking. With an estimated 2.5m privatelyowned firearms, it would take years to carryout the process, Coetzee estimates.This year, a similar law in the United
States was repealed after attempts to imple-ment an imaging database for 15 years. Thelaw was described as “simply not working”.
AlternativesParker believes there are other solutions
that will be easier to implement if manage-ment issues are ironed out.“All the weapons (over 99%) in the police
aremarkedwith our technology. A legal bat-tle with the company that did the softwarethat uses our marking systems means theyare not able to use the solution as it was in-tended. Get a new provider of the platform,use what is marked now and get a tightergrip on the police as well as private securityand civilian weapons,” he suggests.The proposed sampling will have signifi-
cant impact on legal firearm owners, saysJohn Welch of the South African Gun Own-ers’ Association. “The firearm owner is sup-posed to supply at least five rounds of ammu-nition for ballistic sampling. Some ammuni-tion is priced up to R2000 per cartridge.Collectors’ pieces are to be kept in pristinecondition and are not to be fired,” he says.“The discharging by the policewill almost
certainly deteriorate the value of the fire-arm and inmany instances the ammunitionis extremely scarce and the ownermight on-ly have a few rounds of original ammunitionfor his collection.”If the firearm is lost or stolen and then
used in a crime, the owner may be linked tothat crime, Welch says.
Ballistics still neededAlthough the processwill have significant
costs “with little return on investment”,there is still a place for ballistic sampling.“There are many different uses for fire-
arms and taking ballistic samples may helpto recover these firearms or at least contri-bute to the process of linking the firearm toa crime. As prevention, state-owned fire-arms should be sampled because they are ru-moured to be rented to criminals. There areseveral good reasons to start such a pro-gramme and the possible benefitsmight out-weigh the drawbacks,” Coetzee says.The process may also be a deterrent to
criminals but there is not likely to be a sig-nificant decrease in firearm-related crime,he says. “I cannot reconcile the idea of a le-gal firearm owner lurking about in the darkshooting people and then going home to locktheir registered firearm safely in the SABS-approved safe inhishome. I alsodonot thinkthe criminal will care if the firearm that heobtained illegally was ballistically sampledand I do not think that will deter him fromusing the weapon in any crime.”
Concerns have been raisedabout the effectiveness ofamendments to theFirearms Control Act, whichcalls for ballistic sampling ofprivately owned guns.

Overcrowding and dire living conditionshave left Parkwood residents cryingout
for help.These residents say overpopulation in
the area is becoming a serious issue andthey want the City of Cape Town to step into alleviate the problem.
Highlighting the plight of the concernedresidents is community worker and reli-gious leader Paul Phillips. He says the needfor housing is an urgent one.
“We have families sharing units but ithas become so overcrowded that people areliterally living on top of each other. It is nota desirable situation for anyone,” Phillipssays.
He adds that generations of families livetogether in rental stock and they have noother option.
“Naturally families grow over the years,then you have a situation where you mighteasily have up to four generations living inone home. This could easily add up to 15people in a house at a time,” he says.
According to Phillips rental stock hasnow “turned into dormitories” as peoplelive on top of each other.
“Because they are family homes peopleare not being forced to move out becauseyou won’t leave your family out in the cold.What people do just for a little bit of privacyis to partition off sections of the home. Soeach family will use their own section,” heexplains.
Phillips stresses why the City should beheld accountable for the living conditionsof Parkwood residents.
“The City has allowed for this issue to goon to the extent that it has reached now.They should do more to alleviate the prob-lem but it doesn’t seem like they are,” Phil-lips says.
He explains that although residents
moved to informal settlements, they weremoved out of the area due to court orders.
“Even with Pelican Park that was estab-lished, it does not address the situation. On-ly a small percentage of families from Park-wood are assisted, while they are housedwith people from other areas as well.”
During a visit to one of the properties inParkwood, a resident demonstrated to himthat she has to move between two informalstructures just to get to her home.
“She has to move in and out of her spacesideways because the space is just too smalland narrow,” he adds.V What are your thoughts? Starting with the word“Post”, SMS your views to 32516.

NEW HORIZONS
40 years’ wait,but City calls it 6CHEVON BOOYSEN
@ChevonBooysen
A woman who says she has been on thehousing list for 40 years is fed up ofwait-
ing.Fatima Hati is despondent as she has not
yet received a home, although, she says, shehas been on the housing waiting list since1975. Now the City of Cape Town says thatits records only show her on the list for thelast six years.
Community worker Abe Braaf says Hatiapproached him to help her.
“This woman has been on the waiting listfor so long but has not yet received herhouse. She just wants answers as to whythis is taking so long,” Braaf says.
According to Hati and Braaf they followup continuously but never get proper an-swers. “People who have been on a waitinglist for less than ten years have receivedhomes already. This does not make senseand Hati wants answers,” Braaf adds.
According to Braaf he has done his ownresearch on the matter and getting assist-ance has proven unfruitful.
“We just want to know what the delay isso she may have peace of mind.”
Benedicta van Minnen, mayoral commit-tee member for human settlements, con-firms Fati is on the housing list, but “theCity’s records show that she has not beenon the waiting list for 40 years”.
According to City records Fati applied in2009. Van Minnen says she will not receivea house in New Horizons.
Van Minnen also says Hati has not beenset back on the waiting list according to theCity’s records. She has advised Hati to haveher records updated. VanMinnen adds thatthere is no estimated time for applicants tobe on the waiting list.
“There are a number of factors that influ-ence the length of time an applicant waitsand this includes the amount of time theperson has been on the waiting list, thecatchment area where the potential benefi-ciary is located, the number of units to bebuilt and the percentage split in allocationof beneficiaries within the catchment areaand outside the catchment area.”V What are your thoughts?

Winter is a dangerous time on the roadTIYESE JERRANJI

Another successful road safety workshopwas held at the Red Cross WarMemorial
Children’s Hospital last week.Attendees of the workshop includedWest-
ern Cape premier Helen Zille, provincialminister of transport and public works Do-nald Grant, the Global Road Safety Partner-ship South Africa and Childsafe.This was the eighth workshop to be held
by various stakeholders to minimise therisk of road accidents.
With winter coming near the workshoptheme was season-appropriate, “Visibility”.Inadequate visibility on the road increas-
es the risk of a crash for all types of road us-ers.However, the most vulnerable road users
are motorcyclists, cyclists, pedestrians andchildren.Due toheavy rains inwinter and the inten-
sity of darkness road users are encouragedto wear bright colours so that they can beeasily visible to motorists.More than 17 000 SouthAfricans are killed
on the nation’s roads each year, including
almost 3 000 children. Another 68 000 peopleare seriously injured.These deaths and injuries are preventa-
ble. They can be avoided especially if peoplestop drinking and driving, crossing on high-ways and being on the roads after drinking.Hector Elliot from the department of
transport says a lot of accidents can beavoided.In his presentation at the workshop he
urged pedestrians not to cross highways andwarned that children must be supervised atall times.“Most people who die on the roads are pe-
destrians. Those who are intoxicatedmustn’t be on the roads. Unsupervised chil-dren who play in the roads are also at riskof being knocked down by cars,” he said.Motorists were also urged to ensure their
seat belts were on at all times. During theworkshop it came to light that only a fewpeo-ple used their seat belts.Elliot added that, according to a survey by
AA in 2013, “in poor communities there isa poor understanding of the purpose of seatbelts. There is also a persistent myth aboutseat belts that theywill trapyou inaburningcar”.

Saturday’s unique Carnival Race Day of-fers more quality variety than has everbeen seen at Killarney, so there has
been a build-up of expectation among petrolheads.The on-track action includes the Cape
round of the All-Africa 3-hour endurancerace series, that is due to finish in the dark,a leg of the South African Superkart Cham-pionship and round four of the Power Seriesfor cars andmotorcycles sponsoredbyWing-field Motors.A parade of VW Beetles in honour of its
80th anniversary (the prototype was un-veiled in Germany in 1935) will take placeduring the lunch break.The day will also feature an exotic and
sports car show that includes several histor-ic motorcycles under cover in the spaciousnewpit block. The popular EngenF1 simula-tors will be available to budding Lewis Ha-milton imitators in the same building.While entries for the 3-hour race include
six Porsches (all of them with two or even
three drivers) the battle upfront ismore like-ly to be fought between a trio of Junos, aDodge Viper and possibly a Panoz Esperan-te.The formidable Juno attack is being led by
Western Cape champion Francis Carru-thers, with co-drivers Nick Adcock andDean McCarroll in an SS3 V6.They will have to face up to Craig Jarvis
and Marcel Angel in Jarvis’s recently ac-quired V10, 8.4litre Dodge Viper and anAmerican V8 Panoz Esperante being sharedby Dave Alhadeff, Jonathan Bernstein andChris Carolin.Any gap upfront will allow the remaining
Juno SS3s (of Steve Humble/ Johan Engel-brecht andColinPlit/DawieJoubert) or per-haps even aNissan 370Z (in the hands of Jus-tin Mathie and Gary Sherrat) to take up thechase.Then there’s the potentially awesome
spectacle promised by the Superkart races.The driver’s backside is nomore than a cou-ple of centimetres off the ground in these ti-
ny projectiles that have no suspension andwheels the size of doughnuts.However, they are powered by 250cc mo-
tors with six-speed sequential gearboxes.This allows them to attain speeds of more
than 200km/h on theback straight.The always hard-
fought Bold MarineGTi Challenge race isexpected to be one ofthe highlights of thePowerSeries sectionofthe programme.Young Marco Busi
andChristopher Swartswapped places at thehead of the field lastmonth and they shouldbe the ones towatch onSaturday. With thefirst race scheduled tostart at 10:00, the Afri-can 3-hour is the final
event on the programmeand is due to get un-der way at 16:15. Admission is R60 for adultsand R20 for children under 16. There is nocharge for children under 12. Tickets are al-so available from Computicket.
Porsches, Junos in endurance
Petrol heads can look forward to great racing at Killarney onSaturday.
