On 9 October 2026, Pinetown father Sidney Hill was driving out of his driveway with his children when armed attackers moved in on his vehicle. He defended his family, shielding his daughter with his own body, and was injured in the process. The dashcam footage has been seen around the world.
In this interview, Sidney tells us what he thinks about firearms in South Africa, and what it means for the families who depend on the right to protect themselves.
As the Firearms Control Amendment Bill is debated, this is a conversation every law-abiding South African should hear.
“I didn’t care about myself. Everything that happened was to protect my babies.” (Sidney Hill, as quoted by TimesLIVE)
