Crackdown on construction mafias

[Daniel Puchert]

Rude awakening for construction mafias in South Africa

The government is beginning to crack down on construction mafias, with the Department of Public Works launching independent investigations into extortion at project sites across South Africa.

Construction mafias emerged after 2010, following the boom in construction in the buildup to the FIFA World Cup in South Africa.

I did and its sad...


"If these processes were more efficient and effective, companies would be more willing to report criminal activity rather than paying off extortionists to ensure their projects are not delayed."

Basically fokall will happen!

Thats is why I said what I said people are not willing to report, because what is the point? Just another sunny day in Africa.

14 YEARS, according to the article this has been going on for 14 years, jesus.
Now you want to start doing something, and even then, this will be at a snail's pace.
Or is it only the fact that they came to Gauteng that action is being taken...
