Three weeks back an alleged extortion racket kingpin, Chief Sakhumzi Dalinzolo Mareke, was killed following a shoot-out with police. Two other men were also fatally wounded and a police officer was recovering in hospital after sustaining a gunshot wound in the gun battle. “These illegal practices have disrupted crucial infrastructure projects that are vital for the development of our communities.”
He said the behaviour of extortion is damaging the reputation of public institutions and further entrenching a culture of corruption.
