Gauteng’s Crime Drop: Real Safety or Just Numbers | Johannesburg News

With 652 murders still linked to firearms and over 280 weapons seized, the push for a gun-free province remains urgent. They’re demanding visible policing, smarter investigations, and targeted action—especially at underperforming Honeydew Police Station—to ensure safety improvements reach every corner of the province.
