sorry - SA does not have a ban on guns (just strict gun laws); and to keep things in perspective here, please note that what the ANC and the gov. itself bans could be totally different - the gov. is not totally ANC (majority tho') - anything that the ANC (as ruling party) wants to do can be (and frequently is) shot down if the other parties all dont agree with the ANC.
as far as our crime stats go - pls check your facts. I know that you have NO statistics for what our crime rate is (only anecdotal stories) 'cos, officially, the goverment refuses to release the stats (so there!).
come visit SA sometime... with the current exchange rate you should be able to live here like a king for a few weeks b4 returning;-)
