Bongani speaks to Webster Mfebe CEO of the South African Forum of Civil Engineering Contractors

Armed gangs have been targeting the construction industry, forcing contractors to abandon 84 infrastructure projects worth more than 27 billion rand. This so-called construction mafia hijacks major construction sites, demanding a 30 percent cut, even resorting to violence.

State infrastructure projects have been worst hit, with more than 60 projects of the the South African National Roads Agency (Sanral) being affected.
