Just like they did in the 70s, when they werent raping and pilligang.It is probably safe to say South Africa is the most stable country on the continent and they are famed for the quality and quantity of their mercenaries.
Edit: the world has a stigma against mercenary soldiers. I say get over it. Sure keep them out of normal campaigns and no need to use them to prop up our military because we lack in manpower. However, I see no issue with using them for such a purpose as what I descried. They don't have the same ethical issues and don't have to follow certain international guidelines. This isn't ancient Rome we will never be disposed by an army of mercenaries and we are different people. They aren't going to go off and rape and pillage the landscape in all honesty and most will likely behave themselves like most western soldiers.

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.
