South Africa: Gangs refuse to hand in firearms despite amnesty

South Africa has one of the highest crime rates in the world, much of it due to illegal firearms.
Now the government is offering an amnesty but many are sceptical that this will make the country any safer.
Al Jazeera’s Fahmida Miller reports from Soweto, Johannesburg.

    Black men can’t run a country. They should stick to singing and dancing.

    Urm fully automatic AK47 aren’t lost to criminals – They are supplied from over the border and from armed caches… Legal firearms owner are not allowed to own these..

    Is this the Onion? You think Gangs will turn into their illegal guns? Lol

    They need to take the guns away from the white farmers.



  7. Premilà John on October 28, 2021 at 8:47 pm

    The only people the police can force to hand over their guns is the law abiding citizens no one else!

    ALL of those ‘hand over guns’ go straight to the streets.

  11. Nsingizi Mthethwa on October 28, 2021 at 8:57 pm

    They should be given money, that’s why they want guns



  12. stefan van Niekerk on October 28, 2021 at 8:58 pm

    Shocker🤣😂



  13. Premilà John on October 28, 2021 at 8:59 pm

    It is very easy to get a gun because the police hire it out to them! That’s a fact cos police were killed with guns apparently "stolen"from police station!



  14. Lesego Molobela on October 28, 2021 at 9:01 pm

    Exactly they just said no



  15. Mfundiso Sofia on October 28, 2021 at 9:01 pm

    They know cops will sell them again to other gangsters



  16. Amani L on October 28, 2021 at 9:02 pm

    Wow it’s awesome to see how gun control doesn’t work at all!



  17. Raw King on October 28, 2021 at 9:04 pm

    Stop inviting those rappers from America. They glorify this kind of act everytime you here their music.



  18. Baby drumphf on October 28, 2021 at 9:05 pm

    I hear South Africa is one of the most dangerous countries in the world and is right up there with Venezuela, Guatemala, El Salvador, Mexico and America!



  19. Mounir Tachinardi on October 28, 2021 at 9:08 pm

    South Africa itself is racist to foreigners, even to their own black people. So much for being a rainbow nation 🌈

    Well it’s very simple. We DO NOT trust the cops and for GOOD reason. They’ve proven to be as bad as the criminals and CUDOS to those police officers who are in it for right reasons. We WILL NOT give up our legal firearms. FORGET IT! Cele and mafia, Infringe on your own rights before even thinking of infringing on ours.



  23. Eric Castle on October 28, 2021 at 9:22 pm
