Soldiers, police officers, metro police and home affairs officials were out
in full force for a raid in the Thembelihle informal settlement near
Lenasia, south of Johannesburg on Thursday.

 

"We have surrounded the informal settlement and we are going in to conduct
our operation," said Lieutenant Kay Makhubela shortly after 04h00.

 

The area had recently seen a bout of violent service delivery protests
during which dozens were arrested and the local police station was torched.

 

Makhubela said the raid was happening because Thembelihle had been
identified as a hotspot for violent criminal activity.

 

The law enforcers were expecting to find and confiscate drugs and weapons.

 

Home affairs officials would check the documentation of immigrants in the
area.

 

The raid was expected to continue into the afternoon.
