South Africa:

Campaigners in South Africa have called for crackdown on military weapons fueling an increasingly powerful organized criminal gang responsible for recent deadly attacks. 
Police are searching for the suspects who used an assault rifle and 9mm pistols to kill 15 people on Saturday night in a bar outside of Johannesburg. 
An uptick in gun violence occurred concurrently with the attack in Soweto's Nomzamo township. Over the weekend, similar attacks elsewhere in South Africa resulted in at least seven additional fatal shootings.
 The director of Gun Free South Africa, Adèle Kirsten, expressed her hope that the violence would mark a turning point. We ought to be shocked and indignant. In South Africa, 23 people are shot and killed every day without anyone noticing. It should be known how many people are dying because that is wrong.

On Saturday night, a shooting at a bar outside the southern city of Pietermaritzburg resulted in four fatalities and eight injuries. Mzimkhulu Thebolla, the mayor of the area, reported that there was no robbery, conversation, or fighting during the assault. 

We hear about people who have been shot at random every week. Extremely high rates of violent crime have plagued South Africa for a very long time; this is just one of the many effects of the racist repressive apartheid regime's decades-long rule. Since a decade ago, there have been more shooting deaths each year. 

According to experts, most deaths used to be the result of interpersonal conflicts between people, but a growing number of killings are now the work of vigilante groups, politically motivated criminal networks, and organised gangs. Given that other people lack the connections to acquire weapons of this calibre, it is highly likely that organised crime was involved in the attack in Soweto.

Guns are used in about a third of the violent crimes that are reported each month. One of the highest per capita rates in the world, 5,760 homicides were committed in South Africa between April 2021 and the end of June 2021.
The ongoing failure of South Africa's police forces to uphold the law in some areas of the nation has drawn scathing criticism from the African National Congress, which has been in power since the end of apartheid in 1994.Many contend that South Africa's problems with governance and the rule of law, which grew worse during Jacob Zuma's nine-year presidency before Ramaphosa, include gun crime. 

Theft from lawful owners is the main source of illegal handguns in South Africa. Rare assault rifles are frequently stolen from military stores in the area or found in caches left over from the conflicts that tore through southern Africa in the 1970s and 1980s.

In South Africa, Mozambique, and Zimbabwe, it is estimated that there are 3.8 million illegal firearms in circulation that are not registered.

Homemade weapon is equally dangerous than any real weapon
