The area had been volatile recently with various shooting incidents that injured and killed some residents. Police spokesperson Lieutenant Ian Ben- nett confirms that no-one has been injured in shootings in the area since Tuesday last week. “It is quiet at the moment. We still have reports of sporadic shootings but no re- ports of people being injured or shot at the moment,” he says. After what residents called a “black Christmas”, peace had been restored in Jan- uary, following community intervention in which two meetings were held in the area (“Fighting back”, People’s Post, 27 January). These meetings were facilitated by the Ma- nenberg Safety Forum. Forum coordinator Rugshanda Pascoe said at the time it was time to take back the streets. The residents attending marched through the streets after both meetings as a sign of disapproval of the shootings. The meetings were followed by a safety campaign aided by the City of Cape Town’s security services and local police in Februa- ry. Bennett confirms that 11 attempted mur- ders are being investigated. One of these cas- es was changed to murder after the victim died in hospital on Friday. Bennett also con- firms 24 people were brought in for question- ing in connection with gang violence. In one of the first incidents, on Sunday 5 April, a 14-year-old boy was shot in the head. He is still recovering in hospital. Later the same day three people were in- jured in a shooting. At about 16:45 two men were standing in Renoster Road, Bennett tells. “The men were approached by un- known suspects who shot at them several times. Both were shot in the buttocks but survived the incident,” he says. A 21-year-old woman was also hit by the suspects when a bullet entered the window of a nearby flat in Olga Court. “The woman had been sitting in the lounge when the stray bullet hit her in the chest,” Bennett says. In light of these incidents the Manenberg Safety Forum called for an urgent march on Tuesday last week. “The march was orga- nised because of the gang violence. We did it to unite the people of Manenberg because no battle can be won if we are not united,” Pascoe says. The march was interupted. “While waiting at the circle in Manenberg Avenue a fight broke out and we moved clos- er to see what was happening,” Pascoe says. She adds that an alleged gangster was at- tempting to extort money from a man who refused and fought him. The suspect then waited a few minutes be- fore pulling out a firearm and shot in the man’s direction. “Bullets came flying toward us and as we moved away to get cover one of our members got shot in the leg,” she says. The injured man was taken to hospital and later dis- charged with the bullet still lodged in his calf. He is awaiting treatment by an orthope- dic surgeon. A case was not opened. Police suspect that the spate of shootings started after a gambling disagreement. “From what we hear two men were gam- bling on a corner and the one could not stand to lose.

LAW
Gun owners infiring lineNICOLE MCCAIN
@nickymccain
Amendments to the Firearms ControlAct may bring harsher sentences forcriminals and new tracking systems,
but gun owners believe they are being treat-ed unfairly.
The amendment bill proposes a minimumsentence for crimes committed with a fire-arm as well as a new tracking system forguns by rolling out the use of microdots andballistic sampling.
Gun Free South Africa spokespersonClaire Taylor believes the new bill will ad-dress the use and misuse of guns by the po-lice.
The amendments propose increased over-sight and responsibility by police commandstructures for the use and misuse of fire-arms by officers. They also spell out the du-ties of designated firearms officers, who arespecifically appointed police officers at sta-tion level responsible for managing fire-arms.
Ballistic sampling and microdots will beused on all guns held by official institutions,including the police.
John Welch, spokesperson of the South Af-rican Gunowners’ Association, says the newtracking system is impractical and has“huge financial and security implications”.
“We are currently in discussions with ex-perts in this technology and, unless we areensured that these processes will achievethe intended objective, we shall opposethem. We are of the view that these addition-al security measures only need to apply tothe police and other state departments sincemore firearms are probably lost or stolenfrom these officials than from private li-cense holders,” he says.
Quarterly reports will also be submittedto the minister of police on the loss and theftof police weapons.
The amendments will go a long way in pre-venting the leak of firearms from the legalto the illegal pool, says Taylor.
“The police annual reports show that al-most 350 000 firearms were reported as lostor stolen by civilians and police between1994 and 2014. This is an average of 17 500
guns each year or 48 guns every day over thepast 20 years,” she says.
Since the Firearms Control Act was imple-mented, gun deaths in the country havesteadily declined, Taylor believes.
“Nevertheless, data shows that 18 peopleare shot and killed every day. While 18 a dayis very high, indications are that gun deathsand injuries have been increasing since2011; we believe this is because of poor im-plementation of the act,” she says.
The bill will also see tighter controls forgun owners.
The amendments will shift more responsi-bility to gun owners to demonstrate their“fit and proper” status and to have to contin-ue to do so while owning a gun.
“The current Firearms Control Act al-ready includes this shift, whereas under theprevious gun law – the Arms and Ammuni-tion Act, the state was required to prove theperson was not fit. This principle is deep-ened and widened in the amendment,” Tay-lor explains.
Taylor adds that between 2001 and 2014,eight times as many guns were lost by or sto-len from civilians than police officers.
“The most recent figures show that in2013/14 civilians reported the loss or theftof 18 guns per day and police two guns aday,” she says.
Welch objects to the “heavy burden onlaw-abiding firearm owners” the amend-ments create. “Some firearm owners mightfind the new provisions impractical andfinancially too cumbersome and then decideto rather not comply, hence becoming crimi-nal. This must not happen,” he says.
The association promotes the lawful, safeand responsible possession and use of fire-arms by people who are competent to pos-sess them, Welch says.
“We support all reasonable measures torid society of crime and to make society asafer place for all to live in and to enjoy theirfreedom, rights and privileges. Freedom,however, comes at a price and often oneneeds to measure the price of freedomagainst safety,” he says.
The organisation believes that peoplemust be free to decide what hobbies or sportto participate in, Welch says.

Violets Rugby Football Club started offits 2015 seasonwitha tough 23 -22 victo-ry over Pniel Villagers thisweekend in
theWestern Province Rugby Football Union(WPRFU) Super League B.For Violets this has been a remarkable
rise out of the dungeons of club rugby afterfinding itself in the lowest league the unioncould offer. Violets responded by winningpromotion five times in as many years, tofind themselves in the second highest league– the Super League B.Club chairperson Ismail Isaacs says that
the club is firmly rooted in the surroundingcommunity that it serves. As the club hasgrown, so too have the players that havestood by the club through good and badtimes, he says.Violets is based at Chucker Road sports
complex andmost of the players are from thesurrounding areas, such as Lansdowne,Hanover Park and Wynberg.“The club plays an important role in the
community as it aides in keeping the young-sters occupied away from other ills that arerife in our community,” says Isaacs.The club already has a junior structure
which comprises U-9, U-10, U-12, U-14 andU-16. The senior youth structure is made upof U-19 and U-20.Isaacs adds that the success of the club is
a direct result of the huge investmentsmadeby the club in its own youth structures.Isaacs says he is very chuffed after this
weekend’s win, but he is aware that lots ofhard work lies ahead for the rest of the sea-son.
