    29 July 2021 The Civillian Secretary of Police Pretoria Personal Attention: Mr A Rapea Mr M Ntwana Dear Sir, DRAFT AMENDMENT BILL: FIREARMS CONTROL ACT 60 OF 2000 As part of the comments prepared by SA Hunters on the draft Amendment Bill SA Hunters prepared a petition for consideration by members on the purpose of the amendments. The wording of the petition reads as follows: As South African residents and firearm owners, we strongly oppose and object to: 1) The reduction of the validity period of a firearm licence for hunting and sport shooting from 10 years to 5 years 2) The remove of Section 13 & 14 licenses for self-defence 3) The removal of Section which provides for private collectors’ licences 4) The reduction of the number of licences for dedicated hunters and sport shooters to a total of 6 5) The reduction of the number of licences for professional hunters to a total of 8 The petition was signed by 6 517 individual signatories in support thereof.

In addition to the petition provision was created for individuals to also provide some written comments. The comments received are provided in detail below. 1. Andrew Bowker: This Firearms Act proposed does not make rational sense. It targets law abiding people and affects all spheres of business badly. Even to game farms and tourism. I reject every part of it. 2. Papenfus Papenfus: Any citizen of SA should have the freedom to persue their hobies and sporting interests and not be limited in their choices.

Next, came the visit of Jonah Lomu and Steve Thomp- son to Bangkok. They put in a lot of time at Pattana on the Saturday coaching the kids and then attended a Charity dinner in the evening. It was a great few days while they were here with lots of photo opportunities. Bangers rugby shirts were given to them which they both immediately wore. The evening also inspired some unusual behaviour and the subject of a new t-shirt. Then the annual Bangers Golf Day. Very well organ- ised.
