Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 81412, member: 636"] A soldier got stabbed trying to stop over a thousand border jumpers. South African troops from the 1 Tank Regiment intercepted 1,174 undocumented Zimbabwean nationals at illegal crossings, with one attacker wounding a rifleman named T.M. Mokoena in the forearm during what officials called a life-threatening assault. SANDF spokesperson Captain Moses Semono stated the soldier used his training to neutralize the threat without lethal force before receiving medical care. Authorities noted the unusually large group and their aggressive behavior, a first for the festive season. Defense Intelligence took over processing the migrants, who were later transferred to immigration services unharmed. The commanding officer for Joint Tactical Headquarters Limpopo, Colonel Dikgabane Herold Tladi, praised the unit's restraint and professionalism while wishing the injured soldier a quick recovery.
