NEW OWNERS INCOMING

WELCOME TO

THE GUN SAFE

BACKGROUND FACTS FOR OUR FINANCIAL AUDIT

Prior to the take over by TTN, in the 2024/25 financial year TGS turned over R800,000 and in 2025 were faring to have an even worse year with turnover to be around R520,000 for the 2025/2026 financial year. 

 

Their July 2025 revenue in total was R43,000. In real terms for their store, this is running at a loss. Out of that revenue they have to pay a mountain of expenses which we will present in our financial section of this report.

 

FACT: The Groenewald's are essentially insolvent. They owe mountains of debt and their asking price as displayed below would have simply bought them some time. This is important to remember as their crocodile tears of their financial woes was caused by them years before. 

 

FACT: Our takeover did not just give them a new lease on life but provided them with a gift of an opportunity which they squandered. Period. The numbers do not lie. They are all here for you including bank statements. These type of people are the problem with society in general, they look for any excuse to blame others when their failure is due to their own decisions.

 

FACT: The Tactical Nation doubled the revenue of TGS in the first month. We increased their revenue 400% by month 2 and 3.

 

FACT: The Tactical Nation was so great that they requested no less than 12 times to please hire their daughter.

 

FACT: The Tactical Nation only became their enemy the day we caught them stealing R250,000+ in less than 80 days of our takeover. They are the actual filth that should have been exposed but they have met a group that will ensure they are held accountable. (The above amount excludes stock, training materials and vehicles we provided to the tune of +- R1.4 Million which TGS has not paid).

INTRODUCTION

We want to state VERY CLEARLY that we have no obligation to pay these leeches a cent especially after what we have exposed HERE, what we present below, their disregard for agreements and their lack of performance.

Having said that, we want to breakdown payments to them, the stock they have received, the stock they have not paid and then the amount of money, as we have ascertained so far, that they have taken from clients and will be impossible to provide client’s weapon systems and training.

The below is undeniable, irrefutable fact. We are not only taking them to court but we are systematically going to recover every firearm they sold, we have already started approaching all the stores like Vaal Office Supplies to recover the proceeds of their criminal behaviour.

We really wonder how these leeches can comment on ANY company when they locked the doors on the Sales Manager and left him on the street in December. If it was not for The Tactical Nation paying his wages for two months, Michael Viljoen would have had ZERO money over the festive season. 

This is the same sales manager who turned their shop around in terms of sales. Imagine that, they essentially dumped the person who brought in the sales to allow them to leech money. The people are the lowest form of scum.

STOCK DELIVERED

STOCK DELIVERED FROM NDUNA GEAR

 

R16,113.36 in unpaid bags and accessories that were delivered in September 2025 and remain unpaid. We have mutliple items having been old and the money stolen by The Groenewalds.

UNPAID FIREARMS FROM MARKSMAN ARMS

R350,000 in unpaid second hand firearms from the dealer stock of Marksman Arms. We have listed below the firearms we have submitted SAPS 533 documents for to get the firearm licences cancelled on these weapons. These were paid for by clients but never paid to Marksman Arms. These are what we know have been sold. There still exists another whole list.

LIST OF 54 FIREARMS CURRENTLY UNDER SAPS 533 PROCEDURES

The below firearms were delivered to The Gun Safe from Marksman Arms and Firearms Training. These firearms have not been paid for by The Gun Safe and we have submitted SAPS 533 forms for the cancellation of these licences and we will then request the SAPS to recover these.

 

Unfortunately as has been displayed above, the Groenewald's not only failed to pay for these firearms but used the funds received from client's to pay for the personal expenses of themselves and their family members. This is irrefutable. 

 

For those clients that wish to discuss their options please contact our dedicated team who are actively pursuing justice against these Leeches of Sasolburg.

NORMARK STOCK SENT ON CONSIGNMENT

 

A total of dealer price total of R650,000 in stock delivered, a total of R70,000 paid.

We cannot confirm what they have done with this stock; to remain transparent, unsold stock was apparently delivered back to Normark, but we have received no confirmation of this. This will be revealed in court they will be asked to provide this information.

In the photo you will see an email from Normark where they confirm that Cobie had provided them a transaction list of payments made to Marksman Arms. We are going to take a brief interlude as these same photos and POP's were sent to others.

HOW LEECH MATH WORKS

When we say R70,000 was paid to Normark it is because we have it in writing that they told Normark they had been paying Marksman Arms for stock. SEE PHOTO ABOVE.

We need to stress that this same proof of payment has been used to “prove”:

  • they have paid Marksman Arms for secondhand firearms they sold to clients.
  • It has been used to “prove” they have paid Marksman Arms for Nduna stock delivered to their store.
  • The same proof of payment has been used to “prove” to Wikus that they paid for the rifle he paid for in October 2025.
  • It was used to “prove” to clients who paid for training that they had paid Shoot Smart Training Academy.

THEY ARE JUST COMMON, WITH ZERO "SENSE"

To most people who have common sense, R70,000 is just R70,000.

To the Groenewald’s however, if you send the same proof of payments to 5 different companies then they think, NO....THEY BELIEVE, that R70,000 multiples by 5 and you have paid R350,000.

We begin to understand why they were insolvent and bankrupt before we saved their arses.

And yes, those reading with common sense are right, if you pay a total of R70,000, it does not multiply just because you send the proof of payment to multiple companies. What a revelation.

These are utter delinquents and the desperation and lengths they have gone to try discredit our company is criminal. All to deflect attention from their appalling behaviour.

FINANCIAL AUDIT

We have made available all the bank statements and we have provided all the proof of payments.

 

If we have highlighted and listed the expenses it is because they are not expenses of The Gun Safe and are funds used personally by the Groenewalds or for a few sideline business they do and their children do. When we say children, please note that their kids are married or divorced, have kids, some have grandkids and are all between 35+ years old. These are grown adults who were apart of the systemtic pillaging of our bank account.

 

Eddie the Leech went on the media and lied. Those gutter journalists are complicit in this defamation and THEY ALL will be held to account.

 

NO TRANSACTION IS LISTED TWICE. WE HAVE NO NEED TO TWIST THE NUMBERS.

 

THE BOTTOM LINE

 

  • Many may read the below and think that some line items may appear that they could be business expenses.

 

  • We can assure you that The Gun Safe does not require internet services from 3 different companies.

 

  • The Gun Safe does not need items from Inkmate totalling R10,000 in 3 months because we provided a brand new printer with monthly service too. 

 

  • We do not need to purchase "office supplies" every 3-4 days from Vaal Office Supplies or PNA. 

 

  • We do not need anything from Shein or Temu

 

  • We provided a brand new work vehicle at a cost of R600,000 and therefore do not need to purchase tyres, or have any vehicles repaired or serviced.

 

  • The iKhoka loan of R30,000 was fraudulently signed for without our knowledge and we paid for that loan from the business account.

 

  • Toiletries / medicine from Dischem Pharmacies is not a business expense.

 

  • We would love to go to Spur, buy meat from butchers, buy groceries for ourselves and our families

 

  • We would also love to spend thousands on petrol for our personal trips and to fuel the vehicles of our children. Yes we have been to petrol stations and footage, including licence plates, have been recorded.

 

  • We would love to pay our children and other family members a little R3000, R5700, R2500 every now and then.

 

  • We never appointed ANY ACCOUNTANT and the payments to "Accountant" are complete money laundering and we have the bank account these payments went to. This is part of the criminal case so is just listed below as the bank statements do not lie. If you are in any doubt please scroll above and download the financial statements which lists the appointed accounting firm who did their annual financials. They have not received any payment from these Leeches.

 

DIRECT PAYMENTS TO THESE LEECHES

REMEMBER THIS: These leeches could barely take home R5,000 home a month before we took over and then had the brass titties to say "they were not paid". Please bear in mind, our audit could only go as afra as the information we currently have. We have evidence of multiple cash deals, bypassing of the POS System and the normal shady business Eddie the Leech is known for.

 

We have already provided irrefutable proof of their lies HERE but even if you take EVERYTHING out of the equation and just get down to the brass tax:

 

R159,246

PAID DIRECTLY TO THEM OR FOR THEIR DEBTS & COUNTING

BRIEF SUMMARY

EDDIE THE LEECH

R40,000

COBIE THE LEECH

R40,000

This was paid as a salary as per the agreement with Eddie regarding the launch of Ammo Express. Unfortunately, they can deny it, but it still means they lied about not being paid. They will pay the price for their disgraceful defamation, with interest.

FURY DEBT

R25,000

Undeclared debt, owed to the previous owner of the store and immediately places them in breech as already explained ad nauseum above.

KIDS, DEBTS TO OTHERS, IKHOKA

R54,296

These are just highlighted a they obvious and this includes the iKhoka fraud.

GROCERIES, SHEIN,TEMU, VAPE, FUEL & MORE

R60,439.37

IN OTHER EXPENSES & COUNTING

This is the MINIMUM total to be ADDED to the R159,246 stolen by The Groenewalds during the period:

04 August - 04 December 2025.

PREVENTING STAFF FROM WORKING

R50,500

FOR CHRISTMAS FOR THE GROENEWALD'S

As mentioned previously, you have to be a special level of leeching scum to close the doors and prevent staff from working and making money over the festive season. Sales staff make commission and the festive season represents a great bump in sales and their income.

 

These leeches closed the doors, prevented our sales manager from working and essentially earning a living. They took training money from clients and then prevented Shoot Smart from performing its duties to the clients. They had a great Christmas spending the money due to staff and consultants

 

OBVIOUSLY The Tactical Nation stepped in to cover this so Michael Viljoen and the team from Shoot Smart were sorted during the Festive Season and then in January 2026. 

 

R37,500

DECEMBER & JANUARY 2025 SALARY & COMMISSION STOLEN.

 

R13,000

STOLEN FROM THE TRAINING STAFF OF SHOOT SMART.
