The government is setting up a call centre for the "speedy reporting" of disruptions at construction sites, said Public Works and Infrastructure Minister Sihle Zikalala. The minister was speaking at a briefing on Sunday, where he provided an update on the progress of key infrastructure projects as well as measures to tackle disruptions at construction sites, instigated by the construction mafia. "There is a glimmer of hope that eventually we will win the war against those involved in extortion, hijacking and disruption of construction sites," he said. In July, Zikalala said that at least 605 suspects linked to the construction mafia had been arrested, City Press reported.
