Briefing the media on Monday, Cameron said eight weeks ago they started questioning how Matlala’s company continues to receive accreditation from the Private Security Regulatory Authority (PSIRA) despite allegations of past transgressions.
“After questioning PSIRA about how they continue to allow accreditation, the answer was they couldn’t find a transgression,” Cameron said.
“If it were you and me who kept firearms illegally at a property where they are not registered to be kept and that is not fit and proper for keeping the firearms, we would not only face criminal procedures, but we would obviously have our firearms seized. All the firearms were returned to the security company, and despite parliamentary questions submitted two months ago, there has been no answer.”
The revelation has sparked a debate on social media.
