Posted by on
The perilous working conditions in South Africa's construction industry, plagued by the construction mafia, were brought to light when a Stefanutti Stocks executive narrowly escaped an attempted murder.

Last week's news about Stefanutti Stocks coastal manager Matthew Horwill's survival of an assassination attempt near his office sparked widespread speculation. Many believe the attack is linked to the construction mafia, a notorious organization that has been very active in KwaZulu-Natal. 

The construction mafia often target construction sites, extorting money from contractors, subcontractors, and developers. Although they have been a part of the South African construction landscape for some time, the government has finally taken action to address this long-standing issue through strategic initiatives.

  2. A social facilitation unit has been established to facilitate and communicate with local communities effectively.
  3. A specialized organized crime detective services unit has been formed to investigate extortion, racketeering, and similar crimes within the construction industry.
