South Africa to deploy troops to tackle crime gangs

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has announced the deployment of troops to combat crime gangs and illegal mining activities in the country. The move comes as the government seeks to address the ongoing issue of organized crime and the associated violence. According to the president, the army will work closely with the police force to tackle these problems, which have been a significant challenge for the country. The decision was made in response to the growing concerns over the impact of these criminal activities on communities and the economy. The deployment is expected to provide additional resources and expertise to the law enforcement efforts, with the goal of disrupting the operations of crime syndicates and putting an end to the illegal mining practices that have plagued certain regions. The government has emphasized the importance of this intervention in restoring stability and ensuring the safety of South African citizens.
