'It will terrify you but it's a story you must know.' - Mandy
Wiener It was one of the most brutal criminal acts of the
post-apartheid era, and its consequences were devastating. At least
a thousand people died between 2011 and 2019 as a result of one
senior police officer's criminal decision to sell a huge cache of
guns. Colonel Christiaan Prinsloo, former head of the Gauteng
firearm license division, and his network of cronies sold guns
decommissioned by the SAPS to South Africa's gang lords. The sale
of these weapons led to a killing spree of unprecedented
proportions. Based on interviews with police and the criminal
underworld, this book tells the story of this callous crime for the
first time. Shaw explores how the illegally sold guns got into the
hands of South Africa's crime bosses. The book describes the
bloodbath that ensued and uncovers accounts of rampant corruption
within the police and in the gun-licensing system, probing the
government failure that has been instrumental in arming the
country's gangsters.
