Received from SAGA

Dear Network Member,

SAGA is trying to gather information from people who have experienced the following:

During the firearm amnesty from 11 January to 11 April 2010, the SAPS invited those who had not applied to renew their old (Arms & Ammunition Act) licences to apply for new licences in terms of the Firearms Control Act. It appears that some of those who did so were requested/instructed to complete a form to cancel their old licence. [Form SAPS 533: Request to Cancel a Firearm Licence, Permit, Certificate or Authorization]

If this was your experience, please would you be kind enough to email the office (saga@saga.org.za) the following information:

Surname and initials:
Identity Number:
Date of “new” licence application:
Place of Application:
Your Contact Telephone number:
Do you have a copy of the SAPS 533 form you signed: Yes / No


Thank you.
