Police will go ahead with their firearms compliance inspection on the premises of a Durban-based security company, which belongs to businessman Calvin Mathibeli. Police spokesperson Vincent Mukhathi says Mathibeli’s application lacked urgency and was dismissed with costs, as he was ordered to pay legal costs to SAPS. “The court found that Mr Mathibeli’s application lacked urgency and dismissed it with costs. He was ordered to pay legal costs to the SAPS. On 19 March 2026, members of Operation Buyisa will proceed with the planned compliance inspection at Calvin and Family Security Services’ premises, as mandated by the Constitution and in terms of Section 109 of the Firearms Control Act, 60 of 2000. Nationwide, Operation Buyisa is a SAPS initiative aimed at removing illegal firearms from circulation and preventing non-compliance by security companies and firearms dealers.”
