Ramaphosa vows to crush construction mafia in KZN
President Cyril Ramaphosa has read the riot act to KwaZulu-Natal’s construction business “mafia”, known for using violence and intimidation to gain access to portions of government’s infrastructure tenders.
Ramaphosa, who since the beginning of last week has been visiting several areas in KwaZulu-Natal, including Richards Bay and Durban where there currently is a congestion due to a backlog of ships and containers, also interacted with traditional and religious leaders during Sunday evening’s ANC stakeholders engagement event.
