CROYDON/FAURE - Streetlights keep neighbourhoods safe. An area that is well lit is easy to monitor, baddies are exposed in the light. Yesterday, Monday 18 September the City of Cape Town started a roll-out of brand new streetlights, only to be stopped hours later by threats from gentleman alledgedly working in the construction industry. They want a piece of the pie, they feel it's their turn to eat. Evil prospers when good people stay quiet, raise your voice here to support the construction of new streetlights in Croydon today.

Razlog

Construction mafia is a term for criminals who have organized themselves into groups known as ‘local business forums’ and invaded construction sites across the country, demanding money or a stake in development projects in what can arguably be described as systemic extortion. These activities have been fuelled by the weak response from the state, allowing them to expand their activities. In 2019, at least 183 infrastructure and construction projects worth more than R63 billion had been affected by these disruptions across the country. Since then, invasions have continued at construction sites across South Africa.
