The joint operation was conducted in the early hours of Monday, 31 August 2026, after the team acted on information and executed a legally authorised search warrant at a residence in Klipgat. During the search, police recovered three firearms, including a silver 9mm pistol with its serial number allegedly filed off, and two blank firearms, one of which was allegedly modified to fire live ammunition. A total of 115 live 9mm rounds, three empty 9mm magazines, three empty 9mm cartridges, 40 blank rounds, and a pistol holster were also seized. The operation further led to the recovery of eight laptops, three cellphones and a Motorola hand-held radio. One of the laptops bore a Government department sticker.

In addition, #SAPS uniform-related items, including two SAPS caps, a pair of police socks, a SAPS pocketbook and a SAPS badge, were confiscated for further investigation. Several role players were involved in the processing and investigation of the recovered exhibits, including the Local Criminal Record Centre (LCRC) of Klipgat SAPS, Provincial Organised Crime, the Head Office Commercial Crime Cyber Unit, Transnet and Eskom. The suspect faces charges of: • Three counts of possession of an unlicensed firearm; • Possession of ammunition; •Possession of suspected stolen property; and • Unlawful possession of state property, relating to the SAPS uniform-related items.

#sapsHQ The National Commissioner of the SAPS, General Fannie Masemola has stated that #IlegalMining in Bapong will not be allowed to continue, as the lives and livelihoods of our communities are at risk. General Masemola received a full briefing from the NATJOINTS on possible intervention measures that can be immediately implemented. The National Commissioner stated that immediate intervention measures will be implemented such as: ▶ we are enhancing and heightening our crime combating operations to deal decisively with these illegal mining activities… ▶we are deploying more police officers on the ground such as crime intelligence officers, members of the hawks, detectives and tactical units to prevent and combat these illegal mining activities. ▶ We have also established an integrated and multidisciplinary intervention team within the PROVJOINTS AND NATJOINTS to ensure implementation and enforcement of our country’s laws. What is currently happening here, is illegal and detrimental to the environment, including water sources and most importantly, poses a health and imminent safety risk for our communities. This is theft of minerals which belongs to all South Africans and which legally done can contribute to economic growth, community development and decent jobs in the area. It’s important to highlight that only the DMPR can legally issue a permit or license for any mining activity. So anyone who is not in possession of a permit from the DMRE to mine, is committing a crime. ▶This intervention team will include officials from various departments led by SAPS inclusive of the Department of minerals and petroleum resources, department of water and sanitation, the department of forestry fisheries and the environment, the department of home affairs, the department of justice and constitutional development and others. This team has already hit the ground running and will continue to work to stabilise and normalise this area through all possible means to stop these illegal activities. ▶Daily operations will be monitored on a weekly basis while we intensify and sharpen our long term plans to ensure a lasting solution to these illegal acts. ▶Daily operations will include compliance inspections and disruptive operations together with DMPRE at identified sites for illegal mining activities… ▶ We are continuing with our disruptive operations and where necessary we will continue to effect the necessary arrests and conduct search and seizure operations of tools and resources that are being used to conduct these illegal mining activities. ▶we remain committed to working closely with our communities and key stakeholders to put a stop to these illegal and dangerous activities… ▶I will be receiving a weekly report on progress made in dealing decisively with this challenge… ▶ and we will find anyone who is behind these illegal operations and they will answer to crimes committed ▶we urge our communities to cooperate fully with our law enforcement officers and to refuse to be used by these criminal elements.

#sapsNW [NORTH WEST SAPS CONFIRMS 14 DEATHS OF ILLEGAL MINERS] The Provincial Commissioner of the South African Police Service (#SAPS) in the North West, Lieutenant General Arthur Adams, has confirmed the deaths of 14 illegal miners at the Nkaneng dumping site in Bojanala Sub-District 2 (Rustenburg). The incident was reported to the police at approximately 21h00 on Monday, 10 August 2026. Preliminary information indicates that a group of suspected zama-zamas was conducting an illegal mining operation at a dumping site. A permit had been granted to a company to extract PGM (Platinum Group Metals) in the area. The group of zama-zamas was allegedly manually digging in an excavated area when the walls caved in, trapping the illegal miners inside. Nearby mine security was informed of the incident by a fellow zama-zama who, after reporting the incident, disappeared. Police were subsequently called to the scene, where the deceased illegal miners were discovered. Most of the deceased are understood to be Basotho nationals. Eight people who were rescued have been admitted to a local hospital, where they are receiving medical treatment. Three were discharged shortly after receiving treatment and were detained for contravention of the Immigration Act. The remaining five are still being kept in hospital under police guard. Authorities are continuing to assess the situation amid concerns that an unknown number of illegal miners may still be trapped underground. The immediate priority remains the safe rescue and recovery of anyone who may still be underground, with all relevant resources being mobilised to support the operation. An inquest investigation has also been opened to establish the circumstances surrounding the incident. Lieutenant General Arthur Adams described the incident as a tragic reminder of the dangers associated with illegal mining. Illegal mining takes place outside regulated mining environments, often without proper safety measures, oversight, or lawful working conditions. He warned that people entering abandoned or active underground areas expose themselves to significant risks, including rockfalls and other life-threatening hazards. #IllicitMining #IllegalMining ST

#sapsKZN #SAPS KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Commissioner, Lieutenant General Mkwanazi is touched by the support and gesture shown by South Africans. However, he cannot accept any donations or sponsorships related to his official duties, as his primary focus is to fulfill the mandate given to him by the Constitution. Instead, he kindly requests that any unconditional donations be directed to the SAPS Education Trust (#SAPSET). This Trust has been established to cater for the educational needs of the children of police officers who have died in the line of duty. This would include school fees, books, uniform and other necessities. This trust is managed by an independent board that is subject to necessary checks and balances. There has been calls in the past for citizens to support this course. When we are doing our work, we do not expect or accept any donations or sponsorships, in kind or otherwise.

#sapsKZN #SAPS KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Commissioner, Lieutenant General Mkwanazi is touched by the support and gesture shown by South Africans. However, he cannot accept any donations or sponsorships related to his official duties, as his primary focus is to fulfill the mandate given to him by the Constitution. Instead, he kindly requests that any unconditional donations be directed to the SAPS Education Trust (#SAPSET). This Trust has been established to cater for the educational needs of the children of police officers who have died in the line of duty. This would include school fees, books, uniform and other necessities. This trust is managed by an independent board that is subject to necessary checks and balances.

#sapsHQ [HAPPENING NOW] Day 1 and the first challenge is in the bag . One thing’s for sure, nobody should take #SAPS lightly. The Special Task Force isn’t competing, they’re running the show. The most elite unit in the country is managing this challenge, setting the pace, and overshadowing everything with their skill and presence. 70 teams are here to prove themselves, but they’re doing it under the sharp eyes of the very best. The week is far from over… but the tone has already been set. #SAPSSWATChallenge2025 #SAPSStrong SG
