President Cyril Ramaphosa has authorised the employment of 3 300 members of the South African National Defence Force (SANDF) for service in cooperation with the South African Police Service (SAPS) to prevent and combat crime, and maintain and preserve law and order, under Operation Prosper.
Members of the SANDF will, in cooperation with the SAPS, conduct an intensified anti-criminality operation against illegal mining across all provinces, from 28 October 2023 until 28 April 2024.

Illegal mining, which refers to mining activities that are carried out without the necessary licenses, permits, or compliance with regulations, often occurs in abandoned or disused mines, leading to safety hazards for the miners and environmental degradation.
