- The South African National Defence Force (SANDF) is deployed in five provinces to aid police in reducing crime.
- The deployment is limited in duration due to the significant financial costs of a permanent military presence.
- Soldiers operate under police command with defined engagement rules to secure high-risk areas and assist in targeted operations.
- Alongside military support, anti-gang units and illegal mining task forces are being enhanced to achieve lasting crime reduction.
In the past, whenever soldiers were deployed it created fear because they were seen as trained only to shoot and kill. Now our defence force has developed capabilities to serve communities, build bridges, rescue people in danger and support the police.— President Cyril Ramaphosa, speaking in the National Assembly at the Nieuwmeester Dome during questions on the deployment of the SANDF to fight crime.
