Johannesburg’s hijacked-buildings
Johannesburg Public Safety, MMC Mgcini Tshwaku says the growing disputes linked to hijacked buildings in the inner city has led to multiple deaths as rival criminal syndicates threaten each other.
This follows the assassination last week of Warrick “DJ Warras” Stock outside a building in the Johannesburg CBD.
It is believed that Warras – whose security company was contracted to audit and secure a hijacked building – discovered alleged illegal activities.
Tshwaku says vulnerable tenants continue to be tormented by ruthless syndicates at hijacked buildings.
“We want to call the tenants which are staying here and ask them what is the problem and we need to check them as to how many of them are able to pay rent because we’ve only been listening to the side of the owners and we have not engaged with tenants to find out what are their issues if they can afford a certain amount of rent so we can put contracts in place. That engagement will probably happen next week or in January when everyone is back.”
