Criminal Groups Disguised as ‘Business Forums’ – A Growing Concern
In recent years, criminal networks posing as ‘business forums’ have become a significant threat to communities and businesses across South Africa, and in Rustenburg. These groups claim to advocate for local economic inclusion, but in reality, they operate through intimidation, extortion, and violence to demand tenders and contracts.
Their actions not only place businesses at risk but also hinder government projects, economic development, and infrastructure growth. By threatening officials and disrupting legitimate operations, these criminal networks create an environment of fear and instability.
How Criminal Networks Operate
These so-called ‘business forums’ often target construction projects, government tenders, and private businesses, demanding a share of contracts without meeting legal or professional requirements.
Their tactics include:
- Threatening contractors and business owners to secure a portion of tenders.
- Intimidating government officials to manipulate decision-making.
- Using violence and sabotage to delay or halt projects until their demands are met.
- Extorting businesses for ‘protection fees’ under the guise of economic empowerment.
Such activities cause financial losses, job insecurity, and stagnation in key industries, leaving businesses vulnerable and communities at risk.
