POLICE SEIZE 226 FIREARMS FROM PRIVATE SECURITY COMPANY FOR CONTRAVENING THE FIREARMS CONTROL ACT, 2000

The National Tracking and Tracing Task Team, under OPERATION BUYISA, has seized 226 firearms from a registered private security company after uncovering serious contraventions of the Firearms Control Act, 2000 (Act 60 of 2000).

The Act places strict obligations on licence holders to ensure safe storage, proper authorisation, and accountability for all firearms. In terms of Section 120(1), it is an offence to:

- contravene or fail to comply with any provision of the Act;
- breach conditions of a licence, permit or authorisation; or
- disregard any lawful notice or requirement issued under the Act.

The team seized the following firearms registered in the security company's name following intelligence-driven investigations:

▶️ Krugersdorp, GP - 204 company owned firearms from its business premises and two unlicensed firearms, responsible person arrested.

▶️ Lephalale, LIM - One rifle in possession of an unauthorised individual.

▶️ Booysens, GP - Three firearms found in possession of another security company.

▶️ Makhado, MP - 11 firearms for unlawful storage; one firearm with ammunition and spent cartridges found in an open field.

▶️ Dirkiesdorp, MP - Five firearms recovered from security officials for pointing and discharging of a firearm in a public space.

▶️ Randburg, GP - One firearm linked to a 2016 attempted murder of police officials.

In total, 226 firearms were confiscated, while 377 company-registered firearms remain unaccounted for.

A Section 106 notice compelled the company to present these outstanding firearms.

Operating under multiple trading names, the company's registered storage address were also found to be incorrect.

Several seized firearms are already linked to cash-in-transit robberies, attempted murder of police officials, and armed business robberies.

All firearms will undergo forensic IBIS testing to trace additional crimes.

Police are also investigating whether the company is illegally renting its firearms to third parties, which is a direct contravention of the Firearms Control Act.

Launched in July 2025, OPERATION BUYISA is a national intervention aimed at removing illegal firearms from circulation and ensuring compliance with the Firearms Control Act.

OVER 100 MOTORISTS ARRESTED AS JMPD CONTINUES TO INTENSIFY EFFORTS AGAINST DRUNK DRIVING

The Johannesburg Metropolitan Police Department (JMPD) continues its unwavering commitment to road safety and the rigorous enforcement of traffic laws, particularly against driving under the influence of alcohol.

Between Monday, 30th June 2025, and Sunday, 6th July 2025, JMPD officers arrested a total of 145 motorists for driving under the influence of alcohol across the City of Johannesburg. These arrests were made during various proactive operations, roadblocks, and routine patrols aimed at curbing dangerous driving behaviours.

JMPD Chief of Police Commissioner Patrick Jaca emphasised the department's zero-tolerance approach to drunk driving.

"The safety of our citizens on Johannesburg's roads remains our top priority," stated Commissioner Jaca. "The arrest of 145 motorists in just one week for driving under the influence sends a clear message: if you choose to get behind the wheel after consuming alcohol, you will be caught and you will face the full might of the law. We urge all motorists to be responsible and make use of alternative transportation if they plan to drink. Our officers will continue to be highly visible and vigilant, ensuring that our roads are safe for everyone."

The JMPD will continue to conduct these operations regularly to ensure compliance with traffic regulations and to reduce road fatalities and injuries. Motorists are reminded that driving under the influence not only endangers their own lives but also the lives of innocent pedestrians and other road users.

SAPS ANTI-KIDNAPPING TASK TEAM RESCUES ANOTHER VICTIM, TWO KIDNAPPERS ARRESTED IN GERMISTON

The South African Police Service (SAPS) Anti-Kidnapping Task Team rescued a 30-year-old victim on Friday, 27 June 2025 and arrested two kidnappers during an operation in Germiston.

The victim’s vehicle was reportedly found abandoned in Dawnpark.

Further investigation revealed that the owner of the vehicle had been kidnapped and being held against his will.

Within 24 hours, intelligence directed the task team to an identified address in Germiston.

With support from a tactical unit, the team entered the premises and successfully rescued the victim.

Two suspects were arrested at the scene, while others managed to flee during a shootout with police.

The rescued victim confirmed he had been kidnapped on Thursday, 26 June 2025.

Just last week, police traced a Mozambican kidnapping kingpin to an apartment block in Fourways, Johannesburg.

The suspect, linked to several kidnappings, was fatally wounded in a shootout with police.

The SAPS remains resolute in its commitment to dismantling kidnapping syndicates and bringing perpetrators to justice.

Kidnapping breakthrough:

On Thursday, 22 May 2025, a 54-year-old bank executive reported missing in Edenvale was rescued following a multi-location tactical operation.

The victim’s blood-stained vehicle was found in Ivory Park. One suspect was caught at OR Tambo trying to flee -with the victim’s phone and a large sum of funds transferred from his account.

A raid in Tembisa led to three more arrests and recovery of stolen vehicles.

A second raid uncovered two other victims held hostage, including a hijacking victim.

A fifth suspect was arrested at the scene. The third victim was later recovered and also reunited with his family.

All victims received immediate medical care and forensic teams processed the scenes.

@visiontactical commends the collaboration of all role players in this high-risk recovery. Investigations continue.
