- President Ramaphosa highlighted that this SANDF deployment acts as a force multiplier supporting police operations differently than past missions.
- The military assists with high-risk searches, roadblocks, and infrastructure patrols to free law enforcement for investigative duties.
- Raids in Gauteng led to confiscation of mining equipment and destruction of suspected gold-processing materials at abandoned sites.
- Concerns were raised that deploying the military in civilian areas risks escalating tensions and unfairly targeting communities.
The military is not trained for civilian policing. We saw the disastrous backlash during the Covid-19 lockdown, where soldiers, operating under unclear rules of engagement, brutalised the very communities they were meant to protect. Deploying the SANDF into the complex social fabric of our townships is a recipe for confrontation, not safety. It criminalises an entire community rather than isolating the actual criminals.— Mametlwe Sebei, president of the General Industries Workers Union of South Africa (Giwusa), commenting on the SANDF deployment and its impact on communities.
