MARKSMAN ARMS

 

NATIONAL COMMISSIONER OF SAPS

CENTRAL FIREARMS REGISTRY

AND OTHERS

A LIVING DOCUMENTARY

AN INTRODUCTON

We will document this in a clear chronological order and we will refer back where required. As always we remain as transparent as possible and provide evidence wherever it is required.

 

Many people who will be reading this will not be dealers or in the industry as such, but, these events are part of their plan to disarm, hamper and remove your gun rights. There are many small dealerships who would not survive this kind of attack and that is what they rely on. Unfortunately, they did not learn their lesson before that our company will stand VERY FIRMLY against this type of abuse of power.

 

We could give up, say goodbye to Marksman Arms as we have other dealerships and we currently building 16 more, BUT that would go against our mantra and would be cowardice and hypocritical.

 

As we document this story it will be boring, it is ALOT of information but not a single fact presented is done in spite, without supporting evidence and/or not glaringly logical and reasonable assumption.

 

Our commentary at certain points may seem trivial or bias but it comes from months of frustration, intimidation, abuse, defamation and criminal behaviour.

 

We are telling our story as experienced, we are telling our story to expose what, in our opinion, is blatant corruption, we are telling our story to drive home what is the truth.

 

We have done our best to protect customers, to protect our brands and to protect our staff.

A SUMMARY OF SOME OF WHAT MARKSMAN ARMS AND FIREARMS TRAINING HAS BEEN SUBJECTED TO:

  1. We have been subjected to abuse of power that included 20 armed SAPS and Hawks raiding our dealership with nothing more than a manipulated dealer stock list which was exposed as such. We have been subjected to the CFR stealing our firearms registry and safe keys providing NO NOTICE OF ANY VIOLATION, NO EXPLANATIONS.

 

  1. The very sanctity of a firearms dealership is their dealer stock list. We will deal with this further below.

 

  1. Imagine how cool under pressure Walter Pete had to be, facing 20 armed SAPS and Hawks personnel while trying to show them they are there on a wild goose chase. Keeping a calm demeanour, literally staring down the barrel whilst they realise, once again, that our paperwork is flawless.

 

  1. If anyone doubted our conviction and  why we will fiercely bring those responsible to justice, THAT IS WHY.

 

  1. We have been subjected to DFO: WO Breetzke refusing to print documents citing fabricated sections of the FCA and under the direction of a one Colonel Fourie refusing to accept our applications and notifications. In fact they have been so brazen that they have cited they are applying the law and sections of the FCA which have already been declared unlawful, multiple times.

 

  1. We have been subjected to leaked internal memos from a private Hawks Operations group. Those memos leaked to  Eduard Groenewald, the leech that committed, allegedly, theft and fraud from The Gun Safe READ HERE, who then posted them on public forums in an effort to tarnish and discredit our company.

 

  1. Colonel Oodendal of the Hawks has refused to speak to the owners, who are entitled to an explanation, citing he has no idea who we are and is not required to speak with us.

 

  1. We got his contact details from Colonel Fourie who confirmed he was the head of this particular unit.

 

  1. We have been subjected to Captain Scheepers investigating a fraud case against The Tactical Nation about an alleged fraudulent resolution submitted to the DFO in Sasolburg as we sought to remove The Leeches of Sasolburg.

 

  1. Fraudulent? Read Section 71(1) of the Companies Act, shareholders are entitled to make decisions against Directors for the good of the company and to protect their interests.

 

  1. The Honourable Judge Swanepoel was astounded with the lack of knowledge of the Companies Act by the CFR, we can only presume he would be further astonished that a special investigations unit in the Hawks would also have no knowledge of the Companies Act and the rights of shareholders and fellow Directors.

​​​​​​​

  1. How can we be investigated for alleged ANYTHING without there being evidence or is this just a fishing expedition where they are trying to find SOMETHING? Keep casting those reels, the one thing about the truth, we are presenting it. FACT

 

  1. It is even more astonishing that this case was opened by the Leeches of Sasolburg in retaliation for our LEGITIMATE case where it is alleged Eduard and his wife Martha Groenewald aka Cobie, fraudulently changed the Directors of a firearms company, misappropriated R250,000 and have not paid for over 86 firearms. READ HERE

 

  1. Is this the connection in the Hawks Eduard Groenewald blatantly bragged about? Only time will tell. We will expose it in court and right here too when the evidence surfaces.

 

  1. Our valid concerns and request for assistance when we discovered a firearms training scandal conducted by the previous owners was dismissed by the DFO WO Breetzke which meant currently 500 cases of fraud have been ignored. That is, so far, 500 possible firearms attained through fraud. 500 possible cases of illegal firearms.

 

  1. His friendship with the Nel's could not be a cover up could it? We will expose it if it is. READ HERE

 

  1. More concerning is that this is a SAPS officer, appointed as a DFO, appointed to uphold the FCA, who has chosen to ignore the SAPS mandate in Operation Buyasani. Go figure.

 

As we begin documenting EVERYTHING the above will be supported by evidence.

 

We have already begun our journey by documenting our dealings with The Gun Safe and the previous owners of Marksman Arms which are in the links below.

 

This is about clearing our name, fighting for justice and fighting corruption which plagues our country and through the actions of a few destroys the credibility of the SAPS. We are prepared to literally risk our lives, yes it has gone there too, to speak our truth and we hope in some way we will expose the rot, eradicate same and bring even the smallest positive change to our industry.

 

  • Who leaked a Hawks Operations memo to Eduard Groenewald?

  • Who is going to investigate him posting the memo publicy?

  • Who is going to investigate this corruption?

 

OUR MEDIA STATEMENT 05 APRIL 2026

THE GUN SAFE AND ENSURING THEY HEAD TO COURT

HOLDING THE PREVIOUS OWNERS TO ACCOUNT

LET US BEGIN

As we upload mountains of evidence we want to list the order of this documentary. we are not going to say allegedly each time, instead we state right here that all facts presented are to the best of our knowledge correct and we may hint, display or suggest unlawful actions which are to be deemed as allegations and that we believe in the presumption of innocence.

 

This will also enable those who want to get through the boring bits so scroll down but we implore you to read it all. This is not just about the firearms industry, this is the modus operandi that is used across MANY industries where corruption, abuse of power and flagrant disregard for the law are displayed regularly. 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

  1. OUR COURT ORDER AGAINST THE NATIONAL COMMMISSIONER OF SAPS & OTHERS

  2. A COMPROMISED DEALER STOCK LIST

  3. A SECTION 109 INSPECTION TURNED INTO AN ABUSE OF POWER

  4. DELIBERATE ALTERATION OF SERIAL NUMBERS ON IMPORT PERMITS

  5. THE FIGHT IS ON: TWO LAW FIRMS TAKING THE FIGHT TO CORRUPTION.

 

THE COURT ORDER

Marksman Arms and Firearm Training CC obtained a judgement against the CFR on 13 JANUARY 2026 with the final written order released on 06 February 2026.

 

As stated previously, we take no joy out of having to head to court. In fact our court case has seen the CFR adopt the kind of behaviour akin to mob-like behaviour in what we believe is pure retribution and retaliation.

 

When you read through and study the evidence, you cannot rationalise, condone or accept that their behaviour is anything but retribution. This is a very confusing decision but when you have officials bragging to their colleagues about "getting one over" Marksman Arms you best rest assured that we are coming for justice. 

 

That begins now and we will not stop until justice is served. Cold. Flavourless. Unrelenting.

 

  1. All 350A and 350B submissions have not been processed with our dealership e-terminal still being shut down and Captain Croukamp dragging his heals. The court order was unambiguous, it ordered that the CFR is to immediately attend to the processing of ALL outstanding submissions and to ensure access to the e-submissions is granted.

 

 

  1. Hand in hand with the above, outstanding SAPS 271 applications have not been processed.

​​​​​​​

​​​​​​​

  1. Whilst not specifically ordered, ONLY because the CFR had processed the outstanding permits and our legal counsel had confirmed this, 4 of the 6 import permits, were either flawed, sabotaged, deliberately manipulated and / or altered which means they were not legitimate.

​​​​​​​

​​​​​​​

  1. So as it stands, it is undeniable that they are ONCE AGAIN in contempt and, in our opinion, have deliberately misrepresented that the import permits were processed and completed.

​​​​​​​

​​​​​​​

  1. As has been stated above, the import permits were not valid due to the serial numbers on the permits being incorrect. It is our opinion this was done deliberately.

​​​​​​​

​​​​​​​

  1. If this is seen as normal and / or acceptable human error then the South African firearms industry needs to be worried. If the level of incompetence is so bad that LETTERS are confused with NUMBERS over 15 times on one import permit, then we are in trouble.

​​​​​​​

​​​​​​​

  1. It is important to note that the court order is not just about the few line items specifically granted in our prayers. It is the court rulings on the law and its application that are at times the most important.

​​​​​​​

​​​​​​​

  1. In our case and the Pretoria Arms case, the court dismissed the CFR’s interpretation of the Notification of Responsible Person and specifically declared their interpretation and application as unlawful.

​​​​​​​

​​​​​​​

  1. As will be presented below, they continue to disregard the courts.

​​​​​​​

​​​​​​​

  1. In paragraph 19 the conduct of the CFR is declared appalling.

​​​​​​​

​​​​​​​

  1. In the last paragraph 20, and in particular 20.2, the court requested the Registrar to bring this judgement to the attention of the Minister of Police and the National Commissioner of the SAPS.

​​​​​​​

​​​​​​​

  1. One would think that there should have been some form of disciplinary action, at least an internal investigation AND surely this judgement should have been communicated country wide?

​​​​​​​

​​​​​​​

  1. By their actions since the judgement this could not be further from the truth but we are not shocked at all. When the top three most powerful members of the SAPS are all suspended within a week of each other one can only deduce that the SAPS is yet another state branch decimated by corruption in complete disregard for the majority of SAPS officers who want to serve and protect.

​​​​​​​

​​​​​​​

  1. It goes without saying that 65 Million citizens are dismissed too, they have been for many years. Violence, corruption and lawlessness is EXACTLY what communism is, fortunately, the majority of this country rejects communism, here is hoping our fight plays a role in illustrating that.

 

CONTEMPT OF COURT

A CONTINUING DEFIANCE OF COURT ORDERS, UNLAWFUL ACTION AND INEPT MANAGEMENT

 

  1. On the 9th January 2026 MAFT submitted a change of responsible person at Olifantsfontein SAPS as this was outside of the territory of our usual DFO. We chose to not submit there as we were in a legal battle at the time and quite frankly, we had zero trust with DFO WO Breetzke. A1

 

 

  1. In an email dated 11 February 2026, WO Breetzke forwarded us an email from Captain Croukamp stating that our notification had been declined because we had not submitted at the DFO precinct of MAFT. A2

​​​​​​​

 

  1. They requested that we resubmit our SAP 521(e) forms at the DFO office at Wonderboompoort.

​​​​​​​

 

  1. On the 12 February 2026 we responded to this email notifying WO Breetzke that we officially withdraw our SAPS 521(e) appointing Carlo Van Der Merwe because he had resigned with immediate on 12 February 2026 and Mr Van Der Merwe personally visited WO Breetzke to inform him of this decision.

​​​​​​​

 

  1. MAFT then informed WO Breetzke that Hendrik Van Zyl would remain the responsible person until such time as a suitable candidate was appointed to replace him. We submitted a resolution to this affect at his office. A3

​​​​​​​

 

  1. Mr Van Zyl was already the recognised Responsible Person, and as the CFR office had declined our notification for the appointment of Mr Van Der Merwe, Mr Van Zyl remained as the responsible person.

​​​​​​​

 

  1. On 12th February 2026 we completed the documentation for the submission of our dealer licence renewal and attempted to submit this at our DFO however WO Breetzke was unavailable.

​​​​​​​

 

  1. Please Note: On this same day we were requesting the print out of our corrected import permits, we will deal with this later.

​​​​​​​

 

  1. On 13th February 2026 we once again called on the offices of our DFO WO Breetzke who informed us that he is unable to print any documentation as the printer was broken and therefore he could not process our renewal of dealers licence.

​​​​​​​

 

  1. WO Breetzke then asked us to return the following week, knowing full well at this point that he was going to be taking leave.

​​​​​​​

 

  1. Monday 16 February 2026 we were back at the DFO Wonderboompoort office where we were told WO Breetzke was now on leave and would return in two weeks.

​​​​​​​

 

  1. Unfortunately AC Supervisor De Kock could not perform this function and we were once again stuck waiting.

​​​​​​​

 

  1. On this same day we were sent an email by Captain Croukamp who asked us to confirm, for the third time, the details for the e-submissions system. We will deal with this later too but it is important to note who the Responsible Person of MAFT was on the system. A4  

 

MAFT HAD TRIED TO SUBMIT THE DEALER LICENCE RENEWAL FOUR TIMES. ​​​​​​​

 

  1. On the 18th February 2026, we received an email from Captain Croukamp notifying us that Carlo Van Der Merwe had been confirmed on the system as the new responsible person of MAFT. A5​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

 

  1. If you are confused at this point then imagine how we felt.​​​​​​​

​​​​​​​

  1. The previous week, IN WRITING, Captain Croukamp had sent an email confirming that this notification had been declined and we were required to resubmit. Yet six days later, after attempting to submit our dealer licence renewal FOUR TIMES, we get this “confirmation”.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

 

  1. Besides the ludicrous administrative processes displayed by the CFR, this essentially meant that MAFT were now required to wait till WO Breetzke to return from his leave for us to get a print out of this update.​​​​​​​

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

THIS IS NOT A MISTAKE. THIS IS CORRUPTION. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

WHICH ONE IS IT CAPTAIN CROUKAMP?

 

  1. We also faced ANOTHER issue of having to now submit new paperwork so we could remove Carlo Van Der Merwe as responsible person before we could now submit our dealer licence renewal.

 

  1. We obviously sent a stern letter to the CFR addressing this and were essentially ignored with zero apology provided for their ridiculous administrative errors. A6

​​​​​​​

  1. This may sound boring but remember one thing, while the SAPS, as is clearly displayed in our case, can do whatever they want, If we MISS a deadline or God forbid make an error of a serial number, we simply get arrested.

​​​​​​​

  1. If SAPS, as we will show below, make “errors” with firearm serial numbers including on dealer stock lists, then they send 20 armed members of a task team to come and arrest INNOCENT employees and owners. Innocent citizens who have ZERO to do with their mistake yet we must be subjected to this type of force?

​​​​​​​

WE SAY NO. CORRUPTION WILL NOT WIN HERE.

 

  1. We jumped ahead so let’s return to the chronological order.

​​​​​​​

  1. On the 19th February 2026 we had our first visit from Colonel Fourie and his compliance team or so they call themselves. One would think a compliance team would know the law. They were polite in general, this time.​​​​​​​

​​​​​​​

  1. Robbie our newly appointed sales manager and Walter Pete introduced the Colonel and his team to the state of our e-submissions system, our inability to do our functions including e-submissions and of course we highlighted how the CFR and / or the DFO just keep making errors on permits.​​​​​​​

​​​​​​​

  1. It was on this visit that we received the “incorrect” and / or sabotaged and / or manipulated and / or fraudulent dealer stock list. We will deal with this in depth below because this is probably the most serious matter. A7​​​​​​​

​​​​​​​

  1. It was a waste of their breath. Obviously Colonel Fourie of the Compliance Unit did ZERO to assist and as will be explain below, he had a merry time with his unlawful actions a month later.​​​​​​​

​​​​​​​

  1. On 05 March 2026 JCS appointed Robbie as the new responsible person for Marksman Arms and Firearms Training. Robbie seem excited at the opportunity having been unemployed for a few months prior to this position and we were happy to help someone get back on their feet. A8​​​​​​​

​​​​​​​

  1. Unfortunately Robbie had a few personal health issues and an incident that occurred with his brother in Israel that meant he had to resign and leave for Israel on 25 March 2026.​​​​​​​

​​​​​​​

  1. This left a very big hole in our store in the middle of a time where we had SAPS corruption all around us and of course it was just around the time we had gutter journalists putting together their fact-less, dishonest portrayal of our company using trailer park stories from Adri and Dawie Nel and the Leeches of Sasolburg.

​​​​​​​

  1. Robbie was kind enough to be able to do some paperwork before leaving and had appointed both Walter Pete and Ray Crichton as managers in his absence. A9​​​​​​​

​​​​​​​

  1. On Monday 30th March 2026 marked the return of Colonel Fourie and 20 armed SAPS and Hawks Officers. A massive intimidating presence no doubt designed to scare our staff. COWARDS.​​​​​​​

​​​​​​​

  1. Clutching the dealer stock list mentioned previously and no doubt very proud of himself, Colonel Fourie entered our premises.​​​​​​​

​​​​​​​

  1. We will deal with this below as there are MANY unlawful actions we need to present. In summary, Colonel Fourie and his merrymen were left with the understanding that our group has flawless paperwork, that the dealer stock list was tainted.​​​​​​​

 

  1. Colonel Fourie was shown 6 examples in our firearms registry where the firearms were signed out, with licence numbers included in the book, and therefore was impossible to hold our company to any violation of the FCA.​​​​​​​

​​​​​​​

  1. From this day until 04 May 2026 we have been subjected to the THEFT of our safe keys and firearms registers all in the name of a corrupt department trying to prevent our company from operating. ZERO PAPERWORK PROVIDED.​​​​​​​

​​​​​​​

  1. As will be displayed below, we will meticulously document each unlawful, unacceptable and corrupt action taken and we will highlight the consequences these could have, not just on our company, but other innocent people.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

 

A COMPROMISED DEALER STOCK LIST

This is an extremely important part of the this ridiculous case that will be the shortest to document but which caused a moral conflict in our company. We have debated, taken legal advice and even went to the extent to seek religious guidance from our Pastor’s.

UNDERSTANDING A DEALER STOCK LIST

 

  1. A dealer’s stock list is as simple as that: A list of all firearms in your dealership which is meant to correspond with your physical firearms register books, and is meant to update on the SAPS “system”. Every firearm arriving or leaving your dealership must be documented and compulsory information captured.

 

  1. For many reading it would seem trivial, it must be an easy mistake, right? NOPE.

​​​​​​​

  1. This is one area where you cannot afford MISTAKES. This is one area where you ensure your records are meticulous, as has been presented briefly above and comprehensively further below, if we had errors on the 30 March 2026 we would have given Colonel Fourie and his Hawks colleagues the gap to make arrests.

​​​​​​​

  1. OH THE DOUBLE STANDARDS….

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

  1. It is our opinion, that our dealer stock list presented by Colonel Fourie was manipulated. PERIOD.

 

OUR MORAL DILLEMNA

 

  1. We are taking the CFR back to court within the next couple of weeks.
  2. Part of the procedure is obviously having to present to the honourable court all the damning evidence we have and this includes having to present our compromised dealer stock list.
  3. In our opinion, as our case has already been in court and as it seems to be established case law, this evidence will form part of this case law.

 

PIET POMPNIE: A STORY TO ILLUSTRATE THE SERIOUSNESS

 

  1. PIET POMPNIE is a dealer. He has just been arrested, charged and his trial is about to begin in a couple of weeks

 

  1. PIET POMPNIE was selling firearms under the counter to renowned gangsters the 69ers.

 

  1. Three of the firearms have been used in a spate murders.

​​​​​​​

  1. Colonel Snor is the investigating officer and has supplied the senior prosecutor with the dealer stock list of PIET POMPNIE WAPENS which “clearly” shows that these three firearms must have been sold via his dealership but no sales receipts are available and it seems the firearms were sold without paperwork.

​​​​​​​

  1. PIET could not explain where the three firearms were and the Senior Prosecutor has agreed with the Colonel that Piet Pompnie must be held criminally liable.

​​​​​​​

  1. This would seem to be a Hollywood movie script right? NOPE, a similar set of events has recently happened right here in South Africa: READ HERE.

​​​​​​​

  1. PIET POMPNIE’s legal team have been struggling to find a loophole to get their guilty client off the hook.

​​​​​​​

  1. Just before Piet Pompnie’s trial is set to begin, Marksman Arms has once again concluded their case against the National Commissioner of SAPS and Others.

​​​​​​​

  1. They presented their damning evidence to the honourable high court which included a shocking revelation that their dealer stock list has been manipulated.

​​​​​​​

  1. Even more shocking, Marksman Arms requests the honourable court to subpoena Colonel Fourie to testify about a call he made to JCS on 01 April 2026 where this dealer stock list situation was spoken about AT LENGTH.

​​​​​​​

  1. On that very call Colonel Fourie told JCS that this is not an isolated case, the dealer stock lists of many dealerships is incorrect and he has asked the CFR on multiple occasions to sort out the problem.

​​​​​​​

  1. The Honourable Court hands down another damning judgement against the National Commissioner of SAPS and this time has ensured the management of the CFR is held personally liable for the costs.

​​​​​​​

  1. All the evidence including this shocking revelation of incorrect dealer stock lists are added to the case law.

​​​​​​​

  1. A very bright candidate attorney at the law firm representing PIET POMPNIE finds the Marksman Arms case after NATSHOOT had posted the link to the case on Facebook and trying to claim they spearheaded this case.

​​​​​​​

  1. Suddenly, PIET POMPNIE’s defence team has a legal defence. A VERY strong one:

​​​​​​​

  1. They ask Colonel Snor two important question during cross examination:

 

Can you prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the dealer stock list you have presented in court today is not compromised?”

 

“Can you prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the three weapons listed on our clients dealer stock list are actually meant to be on

his stock list and in his safe?”

 

“Colonel Snor, can you confidently state, with your experience, that any records presented from the CFR can, without a reasonable doubt,

be considered reliable?

 

  1. Colonel Snor is a veteran, he is a respected policeman who believes corruption and political interference has destroyed the reputation of the SAPS. Colonel Snor knows PIET POMPNIE is guilty but Colonel Snor also believes in the rule of law and the responsibility SAPS has to ensure evidence including firearms records are reliable. UNLIKE the CFR and a Hawks unit in the Marksman Arms case, Colonel Snor knows that ONLY reliable SAPS records can be considered evidence otherwise it is nothing more than scrap paper.

​​​​​​​

  1. Colonel Snor has no other choice but to answer “NO” to all the above questions.

​​​​​​​

  1. Piet Pompnie’s legal team press this issue, citing the Marksman Arms case and the shocking evidence that the Central Firearms Registry is incompetent and has no idea whether their firearms registry is actually reliable.

​​​​​​​

  1. Piet Pompnie legal team further push the narrative of corruption in the SAPS and Hawks. If they are capable of such egregious abuse of power and corruption against innocent dealerships like Marksman Arms, if they can STEAL the keys and firearms registers without ANY NOTICE, warrant or court order, then how can the state’s evidence in their client’s case EVER be considered reliable?

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

  1. PIET POMPNIE is declared not guilty. He walks free.

 

IN CONCLUSION OF OUR MOOT COURT STORY

 

  1. The above is meant to be a little light-hearted but the stakes are real. It is irrelevant whether the dealer stock list has been deliberately manipulated, sabotaged or forged or it is just a system error.

 

  1. The VERY FACT that a SAPS Dealer Stock List can be compromised is enough. This is shocking. PERIOD.

​​​​​​​

  1. This was our moral dilemma, we know our case could be used to give ACTUAL criminals a legitimate defense that cannot be rebuked by the state.

​​​​​​​

  1. The above was presented to the CFR in an email too where we explained the consequences of their despicable behaviour. You all know where that email went, in one ear and out the other ear with lots of echoing in between. B2

 

SECTION 109 INSPECTION

COMPROMISED DEALER STOCK LIST, A THEFT OF SAFE KEYS AND FIREARMS REGISTERS & 20 ARMED OFFICERS

INTRODUCTION

NOW that we understand the importance of the sanctity of a dealer stock list, we will now continue onto the "inspection" that occured on 30 MARCH 2026. The unlawful actions of + 16 supposed trusted SAPS members who were joined by Captain Scheepers and Colonel Oodendal of the Hawks Unit and Colonel Fourie and some cronies from the CFR Compliance Unit. 

We catergorically state that Marksman Arms and Firearms Training cc had ZERO paperwork outstanding, we had zero to hide and in fact continued to educate the SAPS personnel on the law.

Colonel Fourie stole our safe keys and firearms registers. He unlawfully sealed our safe and for over a month has continued to abuse his position citing unlawful interpretations and application of sections the FCA.

To date we have received no notices, no letters and no documents pertaining to this "inspection". Colonel Fourie, Colonel Oodendal, Captain Scheepers, Colonel Solomons and the CFR top management continue to abuse their powers, have threatened our staff, have intimidated our staff into making statements without legal representation.

THEY WILL BE HELD TO ACCOUNT. THE COURTS ARE NOT FRIENDLY ON CORRUPTION.

AN ABUSE OF POWER. A DISREGARD OF THE COURTS.

A REAL LIFE EXAMPLE OF SAPS CORRUPTION

 

  1. On Monday 30th of March 2026 we were subjected to an aggressive return of Colonel Fourie and +- 16 armed officers, who lined the road with their SAPS vehicles. They were accompanied by members of the Hawks Compliance unit.

​​​​​​​

 

  1. Under the direction of a Colonel Fourie, our staff, duly authorised to trade and represent our company, were subjected to a tirade of alleged threats, abuse and questioning.

​​​​​​​

 

  1. Certain SAPS members present threatened to shoot Walter Pete for getting clever and admonished him for protecting the “white people”.

​​​​​​​

 

  1. Whilst we not able to provide evidence, witnesses were present but they will not confirm this even though they stepped in and removed the officer. These people are cowards not the heroes we see serving and protecting.

 

  1. As Marksman Arms we will take Walter Pete word over ANY at SAPS.

​​​​​​​

 

  1. Our staff contacted the incoming owner of the business JCS and the current owner HVZ BUT Colonel Fourie refused to speak with them citing that he only has an obligation to speak to the responsible person. What a load of horse shit.

​​​​​​​

 

  1. Colonel Fourie continued to erroneously cite non-existent clauses of the FCA which we shall deal with in earnest below along with his drivel mentioned above:

​​​​​​​

 

  1. Colonel Fourie cited to our staff that because Done Beale-Roberts, who was appointed as the responsible person, had resigned a mere FOUR (4) DAYS previously, that our client was not compliant with the FCA as the dealership had no appointed responsible person.

 

  1. Colonel Fourie’s declaration and statement is blatantly FALSE. The fact we have incompentent "Compliance Officers" who have ZERO knowledge of the FCA is beyond comrepehension.

 

  1. Section 38(1) of the FCA is abundantly clear that our client is afforded THIRTY (30) DAYS to provide a notification of change of circumstances.

​​​​​​​

 

  1. This is already settled law. There is no other interpretation required and furthermore his superiors were already slapped with a damning judgement about their interpretation of this:

​​​​​​​

 

  1. Paragraph 11 of the judgement handed down in Marksman Arms and Firearms Training cc v National Commissioner of Police and others JUDGE declares a similar interpretation in the case as “ludicrous.”

 

  1. Colonel Fourie, the CFR, the Hawks Unit and whichever superior officer they report to have acted unlawfully.

​​​​​​​

 

  1. Colonel Fourie did not stop there, Captain Scheepers also agreed with this too: They both declared that our appointed staff, Walter Pete and Raymond Crichton were not recognised as being lawfully able to work on our clients premises and were not authorised to handle any inspections or perform any duties.

​​​​​​​

 

  1. Another statement that is erroneous, a complete fabrication and plain nonsense.

​​​​​​​

 

  1. As per Section 39(2) of the FCA, our client’s staff hold a Competency to Trade in firearms and ammunition.

 

  1. Colonel Fourie and Captain Scheepers were provided this, in fact its laminated and stuck on the walls of our store. They were further provided with appointment letters of our staff. C1

 

  1. The above is ALL that is required for our staff to be lawfully present, responsible and working at our premises.

​​​​​​​

 

  1. IN FACT, this blatant disregard for our courts has even infected the Hawks.

​​​​​​​

 

  1. On a call with Captain Scheepers, JCS informed Captain Scheepers about the Marksman Arms Judgement and was told by Captain Scheepers that the honourable court was wrong and that the judgement should be challenged. C2

 

  1. Captain Scheepers claimed that he had never seen, heard of or knew of the Marksman Arms Judgement.

 

 

  1. Is this not shocking? SURELY a Hawks Firearms unit should be up to date with all court judgements? Especially since they had rocked up at our dealership to affect arrests.

​​​​​​​

 

  1. JCS did however send the full judgement to Captain Scheepers in order to assist him to become acquainted with the law. To date no apologies have been forthcoming. C3

​​​​​​​

 

  1. Captain Scheepers also stated on the same phone call that our staff were trading unlawfully and that if they had discovered them touching firearms that he would have arrested them. It would have been an unlawful arrest and we would have had you in court within 24 hours. 

​​​​​​​

 

  1. SO BOTH Captain Scheepers and Colonel Fourie had the brass titties to claim our staff did not have their Competency to Trade on their person. IF THEY BOTHERED to look in the safe they sealed, they would have found personnel files which includes EVERY SINGLE piece of information for EVERY SINGLE staff member, past and present, who has worked within our group.

​​​​​​​

 

  1. Our personnel files include certificates of completion for training, ID copies, all competencies, proof of address for each employee, employment contracts, appointment letters and next of kin details.

​​​​​​​

 

  1. These people swore to uphold the law, to treat ANY person with dignity, were given a uniform and a badge with a duty to protect and serve the citizens of South Africa. While the majority respect that oath, the same cannot be said about the senior ranking officers who raided our store.

​​​​​​​

 

  1. In fact, with the suspension of the top three positions in the SAPS, can we be confident THAT ANY political appointment is there to uphold this oath? The Madlanga Commission is proving to be a pivotal moment in the history of law and order.

CAN SAPS CFR REMOVE KEYS AND FIREARMS REGISTERS WITHOUT A COURT ORDER? 

 

CAN SAPS CFR REMOVE KEYS AND FIREARMS REGISTERS WITHOUT ANY PAPERWORK?

 

 

  1. The answer is NO. However they act with impunity and disregard the courts. Their modus operandi is intimidation and scare tactics where dealers will often not report this abuse for fear of retaliation and retribution.

​​​​​​​

 

  1. Fortunately The Tactical Nation is not like other dealers.

​​​​​​​

 

  1. Marksman Arms has been further prejudiced with the theft of its safe keys and removal of its firearms registers by Colonel Fourie.

​​​​​​​

 

  1. We use theft deliberately because what else can one call it? No paperwork, no notices, no documentation, he has removed, by force, our safe keys and firearms registers.

​​​​​​​

 

  1. We can only surmise, and it is our opinion, that once they were exposed about their manipulated dealer stock list they removed our keys and books in order to prevent our company from being able to present our case against them and prove their corruption and / or incompetence and / or failures.

​​​​​​​

 

  1. A REMINDER: They will not be able to produce one single document, notification of violation, or any shred of authority that they have acted lawfully.

​​​​​​​

 

  1. What they failed to know, we have photos of EVERY PAGE of our register in case corruption came calling. C4

​​​​​​​

 

  1. Marksman Arms has committed no violations and we have adhered to every single regulation in the FCA.

​​​​​​​

 

  1. Colonel Fourie and his cronies failed to correctly cite any section of the FCA that justified their actions.

​​​​​​​

 

  1. Marksman Arms has been unable to trade, perform their duties or earn a living in over THIRTY FIVE (35) days at the time of the release of this documentary.

​​​​​​​

 

  1. Colonel Fourie, via a phone call on 01st April 2026 with JCS, stated that the reason he made this decision was because we were not compliant due to no responsible person being in place. C5

​​​​​​​

 

  1. The above actions, statements, reasoning and abuse of power is unlawful.

​​​​​​​

 

  1. Our client put forward the above to Colonel Fourie who responded in defiance AND then proceeded to offer a further justification for his erroneous decisions by citing that our clients dealers licence WAS EXPIRING.

​​​​​​​

 

This is an absolutely shocking admission:

 

 

  1. Colonel Fourie has unlawfully sealed our clients safe, unlawfully removed the safe keys and firearms registries due to a licence allegedly EXPIRING not one that has EXPIRED.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

 

  1. We also refer all parties to the FCA which is clear on what is considered an expired licence

IN CASE YOU MISSED THIS CORRUPTION

CAN AN HONEST SAPS OR HAWKS REPRESENTATIVE EXPLAIN?

HOW DID A MESSAGE FROM A HAWKS OPERATIONS GROUP GET SENT TO THE LEECH OF SASOLBURG, EDUARD GROENEWALD, WHO POSTED IT PUBLICLY BUT YOU CANNOT SPEAK TO THE OWNERS OF MARKSMAN ARMS?

COMPROMISED IMPORT PERMITS

SERIAL NUMBERS CHANGED ON IMPORT PERMITS

You are probably thinking that there could not REALLY be more. Unfortunately, there is. Below is a further documentary on how compromised import permits, "approved" by the Central Firearms Registry, have prejudiced our company, directed anger and threats from irate customers to management and staff, how we have subject to abuse, ridicule and defamation.

 

This is another side of our business that corruption, incompetence and pure criminality has attempted to destroy. We have lost large contracts and agreements all because what we can only call deliberate acts of sabotage. We will not apologise for our rhetoric.

 

If the courts decide that this is reasonable human error we would apologise but we would be astonished how you could come to that conclusion when you take into account the level of fuckery we have been subjected to.

 

  1. We have chosen to use one example in its entirety where we will release the import permits below, show the difference in serial numbers and literally expose everything.

 

  1. There are a further 6 import permits which we really need to keep under wraps as we have over R5 Million in weapon systems already in South Africa. There are waiting for permits to be corrected and MANY more millions in stock that is stuck in over 12 countries awaiting our confirmation that the import permits are not compromised.

 

  1. Part of our original founding affadavit in our case was the demand for the CFR to approve long outstanding submissions which they actually warranted, to the honourable high court, had been completed.

 

  1. The CFR sent through confirmation of our import permits 4 months after they were submitted. The law states that they have 28 days. As we have learnt already, the CFR feels absolute rocks about the law, our courts or the citizens they swore to protect and serve.

 

  1. This confirmation came within 24 hours of these corrupt individuals being served with our summons on or around the 6th of December 2025.

 

  1. HOWEVER as will be displayed below, 4 of the 6 permits were found with flaws. Not just any flaws but INCORRECT serial numbers. We will present the Reximex Arms submission, SAPS 520 form, D1 the import permit as received. D1

 

  1. We will then show the email chain confirming, once again, that everything we are saying is substantiated by irrefutable evidence and facts. D3

 

  1. We state on record that we continued to find errors on our import permits even after our judgement against the CFR. We also contunue to suffer daily storage rates since the last week of January 2026 as we wait for the CFR to correct the permits.

 

  1. WO Breetzke has taken over 3 months to correct the FSY Defense import permit where over 50 units are awaiting dispatch.

 

  1. WO Breetzke thought he deserved two weeks leave before correcting his bullshit "mistake".

 

 

  1. WO Breetzke has STILL not corrected his error for an import permit declared to be completed and approved by the CFR to the honourable high court.

 

  1. As we will continue to delve deeper into this we have the following to state:

 

  1. WO Breetzke rears his head again along with possible accomplices.

 

  1. It is inconcievable that it is acceptable human error to make errors on multiple permits, for multiple brands we are importing from multiple countries.

 

  1. NO PERMITS had different brands or countries on them, an import permit for Reximex ONLY had that brand on it.

 

  1. The most damning is changing LETTERS for NUMBERS. We cannot, no matter how much we want this to be a simple mistake, look past this. Letters for numbers, a nearly 70% failure rate in terms of just one batch of 6 permits. We still have LOADS in for application.

 

  1. We done with the games. This is corruption and all these people should be fired, tried and sentenced. If we as dealers are caught changing serial numbers, we would face a decade in prison. Yet this lot of incompentent squirrels can do as they bloody please. NOT ANYMORE! 

 

  1. As this forms a massive part of our next court appearance and we still finding out the extent of this corruption, we will leave this here for now. We pride ourselves that our fight is responsible and our words must be backed by evidence.

 

  1. We have it, we just need to make sure we are going after the right parties.
