There is a clear link between the ‘business forum’ crisis that has gripped the city, the politics of the day and the real impact that this mess is having on our economy.

‘Business forums” — specifically referring to groupings who use criminal tactics, force and violence to access business opportunities — are a huge threat to the economic sustainability and future of Durban. The current effects are simply catastrophic and show no signs of slowing down. As violence and criminality go unchecked, they have proved a successful method and are employed by more and more people on a wider scale.

A system of preferential procurement — which basically allows deviation from normal supply chain management principles and procedures where they align with “transformation” — has been widely used and abused. Under the guise of localising procurement and employing local labourers on local projects, councillors and municipal officials have become middlemen in allocating who does what municipal work and where they do it.

The net result is that the boot of politicians is firmly on the necks of business and everybody is feeling the pressure. Legitimate businesses are stifled, threatened and forced to divide up their work with selected subcontractors. The culture has grown so drastically that it is now common practice and openly accepted that this chaos is simply part of life in eThekwini.
