In the land of South Africa, where trust is as scarce as a functioning metro rail, firearms have been repossessed and seized in Cape Town. Now, the million-rand question (literally, because guns are valuable): what's gonna happen to these babies?
The Corruption Carousel: Because South Africa's got corruption like we've got braai's at sundown, there's a tiny chance these firearms might end up back on the black market. Like, who needs transparency when you've got "connections", right?
Display of Shame (or not): Why not put these confiscated firearms on display for the whole public to see? Create a register where people can go "ooh, ahh" at the guns taken off the streets. Transparency! But let's be real, in a country where trust is a foreign concept, who's gonna guarantee these guns don't vanish into thin air ... or a corrupt official's trunk?
Possible Outcomes
Black Market Boogie: Guns get sold back to the black market because, well … priorities. Very likely!
Public Display of Confiscated Coolness: Guns go on display. People go "wow". No way!
The Great Vanishing Act: Guns disappear. No one's the wiser. Also, very likely!
Local really is lekker!
