In the Western Cape, cops are contending with guns going missing from their stations, gangsters using those guns against them, and a huge shortage of ammo.
I was bewildered to hear this afternoon that the Western Cape Community Safety Department managed to misplace more than 2,500 firearms, all within a single year between 2008 and 2009. The department said today, quite rightly, that it was ‘concerned’ that too many police officers were just kind of, losing, their guns.
