JOHANNESBURG - The murder rate has decreased marginally by just half-a-percent.
But it remains high, with three people killed every hour in the country with the weapon of choice being a gun.
We have also seen illegal firearms seized during almost every police shootout.
In the latest incident, weapons were found after police killed four alleged extortionists in Milnerton in Cape Town.
We discuss this with Gun Free SA’s Jeremy Veary.
