' EWN Reporter May 31, 2023 In that period, police received reports of 382 firearm-related killings."We have two particular scenarios and two interventions that I’m deeply passionate about. The one is that we have already relaunched our reward system. Any community member can provide information on a tip off and there's a potential reward that they are able to claim once the firearm is retrieved.
Allen said that residents continued to be held hostage in their homes out of fear of gun violence in communities. "We are having engagements with the SAPS for a dedicated firearm destruction site here in our province. We don't want these illegal firearms to be on our streets. We want to disarm, and we want to take it off so that our residents can ultimately live without the fear of walking in the road and a stray bullet catching them."
