FILE: A MyCiTi bus. Picture: MyCiTi Bus/Facebook The City of Cape Town has welcomed the Western Cape High Court's final interdict against what it calls extortion and unlawful interference linked to its MyCiTi bus route expansion. It said the court granted the interdict with costs last Tuesday against the Philippi Business Forum, the Crossroads Business Forum and other individuals interfering with the project. ALSO READ: Extortionists 'hell-bent' on derailing MyCiTi bus project, says City of Cape Town The order follows an interim interdict that was granted in 2025 due to allegations that members of the forums intimidated contractors and spread misinformation campaigns in an attempt to influence how employment opportunities linked to the project were allocated. MMC for Urban Mobility-Rob Quintas said the MyCiTi expansion will benefit more than 1.4 million residents across 30 neighbourhoods, including Mitchells Plain, Khayelitsha, Wynberg and Claremont. "Extortion is a crime and we will not allow threats or demands for protection money to hold service delivery hostage. This court order strengthens our ability to protect workers, contractors and vital infrastructure projects." Quintas said the city is with communities as our eyes and ears to root out local extortionists, adding the public infrastructure can't be held hostage. "SAPS will assist with enforcing the interdict and our message is clear. Public infrastructure belongs to the people of Cape Town and we will protect it." Never miss a major story.
