Housing projects in the city worth about a billion rand, have fallen victim to extortion, violence, and intimidation, causing delays.

Funds have been set aside to beef up security at construction sites, and protect contractors and workers, some of whom have been shot and killed.

In just one week, three contract workers were shot and days later, the site was petrol bombed, damaging infrastructure and machinery. And when the contractors leave the sites for the safety of the workers it means the city has to start the procurement process all over again, meaning further delays.

Not just CT, this is happening on every construction site across the country. So many of my sites have stopped (sometimes for weeks on end) due to the “Business Forum” stopping work and demanding funds

It's everywhere!

Taking notes from KZN I see

Same in DBN it's jumping

South Africa is becoming a mafia state. Extortion in every corner of the business. Probably that's why our music artists are being killed.

So the KZN construction maffia opened a branch in Cape Town?

Extortion and criminality has always existed in construction

The whole fucking country is a crime scene. That normally happens when their isn't a rule of law, no job creation and pass rate of 30%.

$89,542 earned within the last 3 months from my crypto investments with Lisa_berry77 Now I'm looking to learn even as my investment continues with her. You really need to experience that feeling of earning while you learn.

Nothing new there. Entire country is just corruption and more corruption no matter the field you work in.

People who extort and do criminal acts to what is going to benefit poor citizens mean that poverty is to completely kill those who are to benefit?

Anc it's killing our artists pls gun it's distroy our nation

JJTabane Panyaza is talking grand projects which wont yield the required results. People from Tshwane have been complaining about known gangsters that rules that city, but nothing is done about them. Develop policing skills & hang criminals after successful conviction.
