Provincial Commissioner concerned about firearm recovered from children MPUMALANGA - The Provincial Commissioner of the South African Police Service in Mpumalanga, Lieutenant General Mondli Zuma, has raised his concern about the recovery of a firearm from minors on Wednesday 01 July 2020, at Delmas.
This firearm was
recovered by two members who were conducting their normal duties when they noticed a group of children aged between six and nine, playing next to a dumping site.
They then decided to stop and check on the safety of the children as they were supposed to be at home.
They then saw one of them holding something resembling a gun but they thought it was a toy.
The members became curious to know what that was and at that moment, the children ran away.
Upon checking the item, they realised that what they thought was a toy gun, was actually a real gun.
They called the station to verify and it was confirmed that the firearm, a 6.35mm Beretta,
was stolen from a housebreaking incident which took place last year September at Bloemspruit in the Free State Province.
