FORMAL ENQUIRY REGARDING THE PROPOSED 2025 FIREARMS AMENDMENT BILL

POLL | Should firearms be totally banned in South Africa, even for self-defence?
January 28, 2026.

https://www.timeslive.co.za/news/south-africa/2026-01-28-poll-should-firearms-be-totally-banned-in-south-africa-even-for-self-defence/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Facebook&fbclid=IwdGRjcAPm5OZleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZAwzNTA2ODU1MzE3MjgAAR6HJfztwoSTaFaAbYBl_e96Op_o4s0SlBw6yqvWOMomXFSvBarlzGgEXtJKfA_aem_Chu8D-m28idZnzP_RQqZ6A

A High Court judgment delivered on 2 February 2026 has now confirmed, in black and white, that the Central Firearms Registry has been acting unlawfully.

This is no longer a complaint from gun owners or dealers. It is a court finding.

The Marksman Arms judgment is critical because it exposes systemic abuse of power inside the CFR, not minor administrative error. The court found that firearm and dealer licence applications were unlawfully delayed, obstructed and effectively refused without any authority in the Firearms Control Act.

At the centre of this failure sits Brigadier Sikhakhane, the head of the Central Firearms Registry. The judgment makes it clear that the unlawful conduct complained of occurred under her leadership and authority. This includes shifting requirements, invented criteria, endless delays and decisions taken without procedural fairness. That is not lawful administration. It is institutional incompetence.

The court explicitly rejected CFR’s standard defence of “capacity constraints” and backlogs. The law does not bend because CFR cannot manage itself. Administrative incapacity is not a lawful excuse for violating citizens’ rights. If the CFR is dysfunctional, that failure rests squarely with its leadership.

When a High Court has to remind the head of a national registry that public officials may only exercise powers granted by Parliament, it is an indictment of both competence and attitude. This is not caution or public safety. It is useless governance.

The real-world consequence is dangerous. Law-abiding South Africans who comply with training, background checks, renewals and safe storage are systematically disadvantaged. Criminals, meanwhile, face no CFR forms, no refusals and no delays. They continue to acquire and use illicit firearms freely, through gangs, corruption and organised crime networks that CFR has shown no ability to disrupt.

The result is a system that punishes compliance while criminals do as they please.

This judgment draws a clear line. Under Brigadier Sikhakhane’s leadership, the CFR has drifted into policy-making by obstruction, something it has no constitutional mandate to do. Public safety cannot be achieved by quietly sabotaging legislation through unlawful administration.

We will soon officially have to zoom in on the Central Firearms Registry, its leadership, its decision-making processes and its compliance with the Firearms Control Act and PAJA. Court findings of this seriousness demand oversight, consequences and reform.

You do not build safety by disarming the compliant while criminals remain armed. That is not gun control. That is governance failure.

NEDLAC LETTER 10 MARCH 2026 SAFECITIZEN RESPONSE:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/12voF2X5kIh-LURxwzVJtFCOB42wKRxWc/view?usp=drivesdk

In this hard-hitting interview, attorney Martin Hood breaks down the reality behind South Africa’s crime crisis — from police inefficiency to the rise of private security, and the controversial push to restrict civilian firearms.

We dig into the suppressed research that contradicts official messaging, exposing a deeper question: is government policy driven by facts — or by agenda?

If the state cannot protect its citizens, who does? And what happens when law-abiding people become the target of regulation while criminals operate outside the law?

This is not theory. This is the lived reality of millions of South Africans.

Government says these new firearm laws will fix crime. But where is the evidence?
In this interview, the data gaps, legal risks, and real implications are laid bare.

This conversation dives into South Africa’s proposed firearm amendments and the growing concern over transparency, missing research, and constitutional limits. With strong claims about government overreach, lack of socio-economic impact studies, and court intervention, this is a critical breakdown of what’s really happening behind the scenes.
From historical examples to local legal battles, the discussion explores whether disarming citizens actually reduces crime—or opens the door to abuse of power. It also highlights how the courts have repeatedly stepped in to curb state overreach, and why this fight is far from over.

It would appear -from talking to a few people - that many within the firearm ownership support community think that this amendment bill is never going to make it into law.
They are making the cardinal mistake of ... "underestimating your enemy"
I am afraid this issue is clouded by many different organisations each doing their own thing
As well as massive egos and mountains of hubris
Too many chiefs and very few workers
What are we hearing from the organised commercial firearms industry ?
Those few BIG concerns that control importation , distribution , and dealer wholesale

The few workers that want to help are told .. we do not need you everything is under control !

If the bad stuff hits the fan and the wheels fall off they will only have themselves to blame
BUT
ALL the rest of us will suffer ...

Malema as well as gun stats.
