It's the first major deployment since President Cyril Ramaphosa said that organized crime was the greatest threat to South Africa’s democracy and economic development. The government of South Africa has deployed soldiers to the streets of Johannesburg to help police combat rising gang violence and illegal mining activities. The troops were seen in the suburb of Riverlea, marking one of the first major deployments since President Cyril Ramaphosa announced plans to involve the military in addressing organized crime. Ramaphosa previously warned that organized crime poses one of the biggest threats to South Africa’s democracy and economic development. Authorities say the army’s presence is meant to support police efforts in restoring order in high-risk areas. South Africa continues to struggle with a high crime rate, with an average of around 60 murders reported each day. Many of these killings are linked to gang wars in Cape Town and violent clashes related to illegal mining operations in Gauteng Province. Officials from the police and the defense department have not yet released full details about the scale or duration of the deployment.
