Campaign Against Overreaching Amendments to Private Security Firearm Regulations
The Minister of Police has proposed amendments to the Firearms Regulations under the Private Security Industry Act that could severely undermine private security’s ability to protect the public. These vague, impractical, and potentially unconstitutional changes were introduced without proper consultation.
With over 580,000 active guards—outnumbering SAPS officers 4 to 1—the private security industry is vital to public safety. These amendments risk driving up costs, increasing red tape, and restricting access to essential equipment, putting all South Africans at risk.
