Police have launched a 24-hour hotline to try and curb the growing trend of extortion in and around townships in Cape Town .

Police spokesperson Brigadier Novela Potelwa said that “weekly operational assessment sessions are convened to determine impact and identify shifts and displacement in the pattern”.

She said that the dedicated 24-hour telephone line has been set up to receive and follow complaints or information pertaining to incidents of extortion. A 62-year-old retired domestic worker turned crèche owner in Town Two, Khayelitsha said she was told that as soon as her early childhood development centre re-opens, she has to prepare to pay.
