South African soldiers deployed to high-crime areas have dismantled illegal gold mining operations in a community near Johannesburg this week, forcing some illegal miners to flee and abandon their equipment, according to authorities.
Police and the army recovered various tools used by illegal miners, including generators and drill machines — equipment documented by an Associated Press photographer on Thursday.
