Guns go missing in the South African Police Service all the time โ a reported 7 331 firearms and 10 million rounds of ammunition stolen or lost over a decade.

And until the loophole is closed, the risk persists. We investigate the dangers of a police system in which hundreds of weapons go missing, and expose the loophole that has the country staring down the barrel of dangerous incompetence.
