The SAPS has blamed the Covid-19 pandemic as the leading cause of delays in processing firearm licence applications. 
“The South African Police Service Central Firearm Registry confirms that firearm license applications have been delayed due to various reasons, with the Covid-19 pandemic being the leading one,” SAPS spokesperson Brigadier Vishnu Naidoo said on Monday.
“The South African Police Service (SAPS) like any other Government Department is equally affected by the surging Covid-19 pandemic. This situation has resulted in unexpected consequences on the service delivery front,” Naidu said.
