Alas, the Rep of South Africa has an checkered history of significant violence over the last sixty years. Whether it is the black thug'd gangs shooting up a rival black thug'd gang, or the black gang members jacking a Afrikaner's vehicle at AK gun point while stopped at an intersection, or an Afrikaner farmer defending his land(s) from marauding black thug'd gangs, etc. Majority of violence was black against black not Afrikaner against black.

Before the end of Apartheid in 1994 and through around 2000 when the FCA was passed, Afrikaners could possess and openly and conceal carry without oversight from the government in PTA/Capetown.

Truth be told, after 2000, as stated by the article, quote:
The number of private firearm owners registered with the Central Firearms Register (CFR) on 31 December 2016, was just 1 586 279. That is roughly just under 3% of the total population.

The number of firearms registered to these private owners stood at 2 778 073 in 2017 – less than two firearms per private firearm owner. unquote.

Bottom line, as in this country when our Nation's States waded through 'stand your ground' legislation in the 90's [read continues today], politics, shock and awe articles, and such ran rampant in the media to our citizens to sway their opinion for or against use of deadly force against those who might do bodily harm to someone, Afrikaner or black, carrying a firearm.

One significant difference between the US's approach, the RSA's police is wholly ineffective at even beginning to control the ongoing violence, rural/urban, going on in the country as well as in the 23 townships, each housing approximately 50K each.
