The operation began with members of the South African National Defence Force (SANDF) cordoning off the area before police and Home Affairs officials moved in to conduct targeted enforcement operations.

“During the operation, two firearms and ammunition were recovered. Police also seized illegal mining equipment, including phendukas, gas cylinders and explosives,” she said.

Nevhuhulwi said Operation Prosper/Karabo was an ongoing multidisciplinary intervention aimed at fighting illegal mining, gangsterism and related criminal activities across Gauteng.

The operation forms part of continued efforts to dismantle illegal mining networks and bring those involved in criminal activities to book.
