Construction mafias causing big headaches for property developers

Dangerous construction mafias targeting major projects are costing property developers hundreds of millions in lost income and expenditure on private security.

That is according to Sunday newspaper Rapport, which recently spoke to some of the country's biggest developers and construction companies about the criminal activity.

Pathetic lazy savages. And this trend will get worse because we have a weak spineless coward of a police minister that is in charge of lazy rubbish that are supposed to be cops. This is why this country is such a steaming dog turd. Useless slob cadres.

Corruption and crime have become so deeply woven into South Africa that it's become the default. We're now just another African country where that's how it works. And that's how it will be remain for decades and decades to come.

These guys also target small developments, being very disruptive (not said in the good sense).

Armed gangs also disrupting the repairs to the rail infrastructure in Cape Town. The slide into Nigerian / South American style anarchy.

Hard to feel much sympathy here considering most property developers are scum themselves.

It isn't just property developers obviously. This mafia (Business Forums) in eThekwini was more or less legalised under Gumede and are now in competition with councillors and other political groupings for extracting loot from the contractor or employer.
