Bishop Lavis ‘extortionists’ get their way and allegedly get renovation contract of KFC outlet

[schumi]

Cape Town - It has emerged that the original contractor renovating the Bishop Lavis KFC building has now withdrawn due to refusal to pay the “extortionists” and that the “elements” which had stopped the work had taken over.

Last week the “extortionists” stopped renovations at the outlet at the corner of Lenton Drive and League Road and demanded from the contractor “an offer on the table” for work to continue.

In a meeting held on Tuesday morning by different stakeholders including the police, contractors, property owners and a security company, as well as those seeking an agreement for work to continue, the CPF reported that an agreement was made to give the contract to the “elements” that stopped the work from continuing.

CPF chairperson Graham Lindhorst said prior to this, police were called to KFC to deal with the situation but were unable to act against the “elements” as they did not have enough resources.

He said the contractors and workers could not return to work as those who stopped the work insisted that nobody would work until an agreement was reached. He said this happened in the presence of the police.

SAPS...Why do we even bother....
(I think the only time we have seen SAPS do anything at all was during lockdown when they were chasing us about for having a beer on the beach or going for a walk...All of a sardine there was plenty of manpower and resources....)

The inability of saps to enforce any form of law and order - apart from the most basic harrassment of citizens - is slowly but surely sweeping into the psyche of the country. Criminals have near-free reign now.

The inability of SAPS (unwillingness?) to enforce any form of law and order should be a major concern of IPID but nothing will happen because, since 1994, the primary function of the police has shifted to protection of ANC interests in the same way as the KGB functioned in Soviet Russia.

This nonsense would have ended differently if CR had had a financial interest in KFC.
