State refuses to return Kgosi's seized guns

Earlier this year, Kgosi through a notice of motion demanded his guns back that were seized from his house by the State following a raid on him.

The former director general of the Directorate of Intelligence and Security (DIS), is seeking the Court to compel the government to return his firearms and ammunition that were seized in February 2019. However, the State is defending its decision to seize the guns on the grounds that there is reasonable justification as it  believes the guns were obtained  unlawfully. The State in its filed notice of opposition to Kgosi’s demand is that there was sufficient ground to suggest that proper procedure was not followed when the guns were obtained. “The firearms and ammunition are part of an ongoing investigations and they were lawfully seized through a search warrant,” argued the State.
