JOHANNESBURG, South Africa — The father of Oscar Pistorius, the Paralympian who shot his girlfriend dead on Valentine’s Day, has blamed the high number of South Africans who carry guns on the failure of the ANC government to bring down violent crime.
Henke Pistorius said he and other members of his family own guns because they could not rely on the police to protect them.
He laid the blame for South Africa’s violent crime rates, which are among the highest in the world with 15,000 people murdered last year, on the ANC government.
He also singled out crime against white South Africans.
He made his comments after it was disclosed that the athlete’s father, grandfather and uncles own 55 guns among them.
Oscar Pistorius had recently begun collecting guns himself. As well as the 9mm gun he used to shoot girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, he had applied for licences for an additional six firearms.
He insisted during a bail application in court last week that he shot Miss Steenkamp through a locked lavatory door believing her to be a burglar.
Prosecutors say he gunned down the 29-year-old model after she fled to the bathroom following a row.
Henke Pistorius said the family were firearms collectors and hunters, but also needed guns for self-defence.
“Some of the guns are for hunting and some are for protection: the hand guns. It speaks to the ANC government. Look at white crime levels, why protection is so poor in this country,” he said.
“You can’t rely on the police because crime is so rife.”
He said he personally had never had to use a gun in self-defence, but added: “That doesn’t mean I haven’t been hijacked, attacked. As a family, we value life much too much to produce guns at every opportunity.”
According to Beeld, an Afrikaans language newspaper, Henke Pistorius, Oscar’s grandfather Hendrik, and his uncles Arnold, Theo and Leo own a total of 55 shotguns and handguns.
Among the six weapons which Oscar Pistorius applied to license were three shotguns, a Smith & Wesson 500 and a.223-calibre semi-automatic rifle, similar to that used in the Sandy Hook school massacre in the United States.
Ishmael Mnisi, an ANC spokesman, said Mr Pistorius’s comments were “worrying.”
“Crime is something that affects everyone in this country,” he said.
“It doesn’t justify a person having to use a gun to kill, or justify him having many guns in his house. People must report crime to the police.”
