How 750m in Cape Town’s city centre points to South Africa’s expansive extortion problem

Extortion is a massive problem in South Africa. It affects many industries, areas and individuals – and crimes in this arena can prove fatal, people have before been murdered. Railway tracks and construction sites have been disrupted and extortionists even go after pensioners. Restaurants and entertainment venues are also targeted. This video shows how a stretch of around 750m in Cape Town’s city centre has been the focus of extortion and related accusations for years. It points to how deeply entrenched and intricate South Africa’s “protection fee” problem really is.
