An act prohibiting the possession of dangerous weapons, replicas or imitations, in public, will come into operation in January, the presidency said on Wednesday.
   
"President [Jacob] Zuma has, in terms of the Dangerous Weapons Act, 2013, determined 2 January 2014 as the date on which the said act will come into operation," presidency spokesman Mac Maharaj said in a statement.
   
The act seeks to revoke all existing legislation which regulates  dangerous weapons in the country, in order to provide a uniform legislation across the country.
