If you are a gangster bidding farewell to a fallen comrade with a 21-gun salute, the police will be there to catch you.
In a warning to gangsters, police said they would be cracking down on the practice.
KwaZulu-Natal police spokesman Brigadier Jay Naicker said they would intensify operations to stop funeral gun salutes.
"We receive a lot of complaints from people living next to cemeteries."
He said they would increase security at specific funerals.
"Funerals will be profiled and stricter measures implemented."
