South Africa: Ramaphosa's Troops Move to Crack Down on Crime in Cape Town | Firstpost Africa | N18G
In a decisive move to curb surging crime rates, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa launched "Operation Prosper" in February 2026. Under the year-long mission, the South African National Defence Force (SANDF) has begun deploying over 2,200 soldiers across five provinces, including the volatile Cape Flats in the Western Cape. Tasked with supporting the police force, troops are targeting gang-plagued townships like Mitchells Plain, where daily turf wars and retaliatory shootings have left residents living in constant fear. Beyond gang violence, the mission addresses the rise of illegal mining operations in Gauteng and other regions, which officials label a significant threat to national stability. While many residents welcome the "boots on the ground" as a necessary deterrent, the deployment has faced logistical hurdles, including reports of fuel and transport shortages. The military is scheduled to remain in these hotspots until March 2027, as the nation hopes for a definitive end to the cycle of violence.---
