The"construction mafia" which has terrorised building sites across the country, backing their demand for 30% of contract values with AK-47 firepower, is slowly moving towards respectability as the industry embraces business forums in local sub-contracting.
The construction mafia, which grew out of two militant groupings in KwaZulu-Natal around 2014 and subsequently spread to all nine provinces, has followed a typical modus operandi: armed men arrive on site, purporting to represent local business, and demand 30% of the contract value, sometimes simply as protection money, other times through a demand for sub-contracts.
Roy Mnisi, executive director of industry association Master Builders, says:"The demand by certain groupings commonly known as business forums came about a few years ago and took different forms, but the common denominator was that they used violent tactics to achieve their goals."Get 14 days free to read all our investigative and in-depth journalism.

JvanLogg Ha. A bit like the early days of the insurance industry?
On the other hand the Contractors may organize private investigators and follow private prosecution if the ANC government is entangled in this Mafia style extortion of construction business.
In a real normal State National Intelligence Agency, Police Crime Intelligence, Hawks, will go down and find out out who are behind this and who are the beneficiaries of this criminal act. Follow the money received may be it bumps over political parties bank accounts.
