Selfs al het jou vuurwapenlisensie verval, kan jy steeds aansoek doen om dit te hernu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die konstitusionele hof het di\u00e9 beslissing Vrydag in die guns van die Fidelity-groep gemaak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die polisie het in 2016 \u2019n beleid ingestel wat bepaal mense wie se vuurwapenlisensies verval het en wat hul wapens by die polisie ingegee het, mag ni\u00e9 vir \u2019n nuwe lisensie aansoek doen nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bheki Cele, die minister van polisie, het in die hofstryd sonder sukses aangevoer sulke wapens mag vernietig word sonder om die lisensie\u00adhouer (in hierdie geval Fidelity) die geleentheid te bied om \u2019n nuwe aansoek in te dien om \u2019n lisensie daarvoor te kry ten einde dit regmatig te besit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie tydperk van die beslaglegging of oorgawe van die vuurwapen tot die vernietiging sal waarskynlik aansienlik wees. Etlike maande kan verloop voordat die vuurwapen waarop beslag gel\u00ea of wat by die staat ingegee is, aan die staat verbeur word,\u201d lui regters Steven Majiedt en Owen Rogers se uitspraak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die hof het bevind di\u00e9 interpretasie word versterk deur artikel 149 van die Wet op Vuurwapenbeheer, wat bepaal \u2019n vuurwapen mag slegs volgens sekere voorskrifte vernietig word en dit bly die eienaar se eiendom totdat dit vernietig is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die Fidelity-groep het die uitspraak verwelkom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hulle het die polisie se beleid aanvanklik in die hooggeregshof teengestaan, maar verloor. Die app\u00e8lhof het die hooggeregshof se uitspraak tersyde gestel. Die minister van polisie het toe in die konstitusionele hof daarteen geappelleer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Luidens di\u00e9 hof se beslissing bly enigiemand \u2013 hetsy \u2019n individu of lid van die veiligheidsbedryf \u2013 die eienaar van \u2019n vuurwapen wat vir veilige bewaring by die polisie ingehandig is en mag die eienaar dus \u2019n nuwe aansoek vir \u2019n lisensie indien. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sakeliga, die nasionale jag- en skietvereniging Gun Owners of South Africa en die Professionele Jagtersvereniging van Suid-Afrika het as vriende van die hof opgetree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tian Alberts, regs- en skakelbeampte van Sakeliga, s\u00ea in die formulering van die uitspraak en uiteindelike bevindings blyk dit Sakeliga was reg met sy argument dat die staat verplig is om wapeneienaars se regte op vryheid en veiligheid van die mens, en die reg om nie van eiendom ontneem te word nie, te beskerm, te bevorder en te verwesenlik. Die hof het bevind die minister se vertolking van die wet is verkeerd. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie wet moet op \u2019n wyse ge\u00efnterpreteer word wat met konstitusionele waardes en beskerming van eiendomsreg ooreenstem.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Armand Greyling, regs- en risikobeampte by AfriForum, s\u00ea di\u00e9 organisasie is die afgelope paar jaar oorval met navrae en klagtes van eienaars wat hul vuurwapens kwyt is weens laat hernuwingsaansoeke en \u2019n verkeerde vertolking van die wetgewing. Hy s\u00ea van die wapens is deur die polisie afgeneem en daarna vernietig. Die uitspraak maak dit duidelik dat di\u00e9 praktyk nou strydig is met die bepalings van die vuurwapenwet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Greyling s\u00ea AfriForum sal druk uitoefen dat prosesse ingestel word wat vuurwapeneienaars moet volg om hul lisensies wat verval het dringend te hernu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
* The Constitutional Court\u2019s ruling that firearm owners whose licences have expired may reapply without waiting for another amnesty period has been hailed as a \u201cwatershed judgment in favour
