Our Campaigns
State security has failed. We are stepping up. Three active legal and civil fronts to protect your rights, your family and your livelihood. Choose your fight.
The Problem
South Africans face home invasions, hijackings, farm attacks, armed robberies, and violent crime at extreme levels. SAPS response times are measured in hours - if they respond at all. Government is proposing the removal of self-defence as a valid reason to own a firearm.
The Hypocrisy
Cabinet ministers travel with heavily armed VIP protection. The President's security detail carries military-grade weapons. Yet ordinary citizens are told they cannot own a firearm to protect their families.
Our Position:
This proposal places innocent families in greater danger. We oppose it with formal legal submissions and citizen mandates.
The Problem
South Africans spend billions annually on private security - armed response, electric fencing, CCTV, neighbourhood watches - because the state cannot protect the public.
The Logic
Medical aid contributions are tax deductible because the state healthcare system cannot cope. The same logic applies to private safety. If citizens must fund their own protection, the cost should be deductible.
Our Position:
We are calling for Safety Tax Credits - formal tax relief for verified private security expenditure.
The Problem
Private security officers respond faster than SAPS and protect millions of South Africans every day. Government's proposed PSIRA regulations will restrict their firearms, ammunition, magazines, and tactical equipment.
The Reality
Criminals carry illegal weapons with impunity. These regulations punish the law-abiding while leaving criminals entirely unaffected.
Our Position:
We oppose regulations that weaken the private security industry. Punishing those who protect us creates more victims.
The Problem
The Firearms Control Amendment Bill strips South Africans of the practical means to defend themselves. Self-defence has been a recognised right under South African common law for centuries. This Bill does not just regulate firearms. It removes your ability to exercise a constitutional right.
The Constitutional Stakes
Section 11 of the Constitution guarantees the right to life. Section 12 guarantees the right to freedom and security of the person — including freedom from violence from public or private sources. These are not abstract principles. They mean you have the right to stay alive and the right to protect yourself. The FCAB makes both rights meaningless for anyone who cannot afford private armed security.
Our Position:
CSSA and the Firearms Control Action Body are preparing a constitutional court challenge. We will argue that the FCAB violates Section 11 and Section 12 of the Bill of Rights. Self-defence is not a privilege. It is a right. We intend to prove it in court.
The legislative assault on law-abiding citizens is continuous. Our legal and research teams are developing new campaigns to counter state overreach. If you are aware of pending local or national legislation that endangers South African citizens or restricts your ability to protect yourself, inform us immediately.
