F.A.C.T. (Fireworks Action Campaign Team)

F.A.C.T. (Fireworks Action Campaign Team) F.A.C.T. was formed to raise awareness of the escalation of INDISCRIMINATE and UNLAWFUL use of fireworks.

F.A.C.T is a non-profit organisation, founded by a group of concerned citizens on the South Coast of Kwazulu Natal in South Africa. Year after year their community is faced with the devastating aftermath of celebrations where fireworks are used recklessly with no regard for nature. Wild and domestic animals are left traumatized or at times killed and the widespread use of so called "BIG BANG" fire

works is making the situation much worse. These concerned individuals took it upon themselves to raise public awareness for the INDISCRIMINATE and UNLAWFUL use of fireworks and educate the public on safe, responsible practises. We hope to gain your support in keeping our animals safe...

THE EXPLOSIVES ACT No 26 OF 1956
This law applies nationwide with no exceptions. It is unlawful to discharge any firework in any building, on any public thoroughfare or in any public place or resort without prior written permission of the local authority. (Section 10.34)

Section 10.35 relates to public displays of fireworks and states that no person may do so on any premises without the written permission of the Chief Inspector of Explosives (commonly known as “having a permit”). This written permission will stipulate conditions and any non-compliance with them is a criminal offence.

In terms of the Explosives Act, no person shall allow or permit any children under the age of 16 to handle or use fireworks except under the supervision of an adult person.

This Act is enforced by the South African Police Service (SAPS) not by the SPCA. Please report any offences to your nearest SAPS, giving as many details as you possibly can and quoting the Act name and number plus the relevant section as given above.

IGNORANCE OF THE LAW IS NO EXCUSE – PENALTIES ARE SEVERE
DO NOT BE AFRAID TO REPORT OFFENDERS
