THE City of Cape Town has welcomed the decision by the Western Cape High Court to reinstate an interim interdict against extortionists and others who, it claims, are hellbent on derailing its MyCiTi construction project along Govan Mbeki Road in Philippi.

- BY ROBIN-LEE FRANCKE

The interdict is effective until April 21, 2026, when the matter will be argued before the court.

Any person threatening officials and contractors at the site or attempting to disrupt or delay the work will be arrested.

The City obtained an interim order against the extortionists on June 3, 2025, after City officials and the contractor's staff received death threats and were verbally intimidated.
