@akefe01: BREAKING: 1174 Undocumented foreigners arrested in Limpopo ​In Limpopo Province, members of the South African National Defence Force,1 South African Tank Regiment in particular, are facing a new dilemna that is specific to this time of year, specifically during Christmas Eve and the Day of Goodwill. On 26 December 2025​, soldiers intercepted and arrested 1,174 undocumented persons from Zimbabwe attempting to enter South Africa through illegal border crossings. This marks the first time our members have had to manage such a massive influx during this period of the festive season. ​Compounding the situation was the uncharacteristic aggressiveness of the individuals involved. Rifleman T.M. Mokoena sustained a stab wound to his forearm while defending himself against an undocumented person who attempted a life-threatening assault. However, due to the high standard of training provided by the Defence Force, Rifleman Mokoena was able to thwart the danger and neutralize the threat without resorting to deadly force. Defence Intelligence Services have taken over the matter for further processing. ​Rifleman Mokoena received immediate treatment from our professional medics, who remain on standby for such incidents. The undocumented persons were handed over to the South African Immigration Services in good health and without injury. ​Colonel Dikgabane Herold Tladi, the Officer Commanding Joint Tactical Headquarters Limpopo, commended our soldiers for their restraint and professionalism, and wished Rifleman Mokoena a speedy recovery. ​Information by Captain Moses Semono, Photos and footage by Captain Connie Molwantoa #SANDF #JointOperationsDivision #JointTacticalHeadquartersLimpopo #SANDFSuccesses
