Shooting down a drone in South Africa could land you in jail

South Africans who attempt to disable drones or other unmanned aerial aircraft can face fines of up to R50,000 or imprisonment of up to 10 years, or both.

Private individuals are not allowed to disable drones under any circumstances, according to Cor van Deventer, director at law firm Van Deventer Dowlath and Marx Incorporated.

• Operators must never fly the drone beyond the point at which they can no longer see it with their own eyes.

So what is the use of getting a DJI that can travel 10-20 km while using virtual goggles ?

"Private individuals are not allowed to disable drones under any circumstances"

So the law is once again on the criminals side?

If I have my daughter and grandkids over and they swimming in the pool at my place and there is a drone buzzing overhead it'll come down.

I hope they don't call the police station.

 

[ISP cash cow]

SO I can go bliksem the guy flying the drone and let him crash it instead.

I somehow doubt the CAA or the SAPS would waste the time on someone bringing down your ******** neighbours DJI drone over your property when he's scoping out your missus tanning by the pool.

Well I can either test your theory or just take your word for it. You didn't sound all that convincing so I'll just go have a quick double-check.

Apparently learning from Ukraine A shotgun is highly effective and increasingly ideal for taking down low-flying First-Person View (FPV) and quadcopter drones, with no ballistic evidence because of bird or buck shot and a smooth barrel.
