[iv] Yes
[v] Firearms are safeguarded in police custody until disposed of.
[v] 24 272 firearms were destroyed from January 2022 to date. To obtain the information regarding how many of each make were destroyed, would be extremely time consuming given the amount of firearms. This necessitates the redeployment of personnel to carry out a task which would not only place an extra burden on limited resources but would further be to the detriment of other essential duties or service delivery to the community.
[vii] 19 [18 from Bellville South and 1 from Villiersdorp].
[c] This question should be directed at National Head Office.
[d] 89.32% [Conviction rate = Guilty/ Guilty + Not Guilty].
