Eskom cuts supply to Khayelitsha after gangs demand R20,000 protection fee

Often, a strong stand by the police solves the issue. Sometimes it's vigilantism. But sometimes all it takes is for them to make a wrong move and bother someone more powerful.

Thanks for the insight. Do you have any suggestions as to how to reduce or eliminate (ha ha) this gang related violence?

Free shooting training maybe

Sickness in Cape Town. You have gangs even extorting Fibre installations.

It's all over the country. Even in upmarket areas.

It's why Vuma stopped installs at one point in KZN.

R20k is rookie number... should have gone for R2m at least.

For that amount they would have to protct Eskom against Eskom....
