Give Us More Guns

"Give Us More Guns" examines the devastating impact of illegal firearm sales to South Africa’s criminal underworld, tracing their origins back to a 2007 scheme involving decommissioned police weapons. Through extensive interviews, the book uncovers the corruption and systemic failures that facilitated this flow of guns, contributing to widespread violence and chaos in Cape Town. Mark Shaw offers a detailed account of the mechanisms behind the arms trafficking and its deadly consequences.
