Members attached to Operation Vala Umgodi arrested eleven(11) men between the ages of 29 and 44 years old in the Frances Baard and Namakwa districts respectively, at illegal mining hot-spots in the two districts. 


Disruptive actions were conducted by the Multi-disciplinary pro-active and combat teams deployed from Tuesday,  03 June 2025 until  Friday,  06 June 2025 in the Kimberley and Kleinzee area.


During the operations, members received information about suspected illegal miners hiding at a Game Reserve Farm near Koingnaas.


The information was operationalised and nine men were arrested and charged with various offences, including Contravention of Immigration laws, trespassing and possession of unpolished diamonds. 


Meanwhile, two  men were arrested for Contravention of Immigration laws when members were conducting compliance inspections, and the owner was issued with a fine for employing an undocumented person in Beaconsfield in Kimberley.


Various mining implements were confiscated at disused mine dumps in both districts. 


The fight against illegal mining remains a priority for the South African Police Service in the Northern Cape and efforts will be intensified to dismantle these operations. 


Members of the public are encouraged to report any suspicious criminal activities via the MYSAPS App or the 08600 10111 crime stop number.- Sergeant Merapelo Pilane.
