# Minister of Justice and Constitutional Development Mmamoloko Kubayi reports that South African courts enrolled over 10-thousand cases of illegal firearm possession in the past two years. She told Parliament that 10-thousand-315 cases were recorded, but more than half were withdrawn, with 101 acquittals and one-thousand-671 convictions. Responding to questions from the DA’s Glynnis Breytenbach on firearm prosecutions and case outcomes, Kubayi says the National Prosecuting Authority does not record dockets by crime, limiting the availability of full SAPS referral data.
