Organised crime groups often engage in extortion, demand protection fees and even resort to kidnapping employees, while stealing valuable company assets. Extortion drains financial resources, causes fear among staff and can lead to the closure of businesses. It creates a significant operational and financial burden, especially for smaller businesses. Sometimes they infiltrate or seize entire businesses to advance their operations. In these cases, legitimate enterprises are manipulated and used as vehicles for money laundering, counterfeiting, drug trafficking and other criminal activities (Zabyelina and Thachuk, 2022). The report, entitled Transnational organised crime and the impact on the private sector: the hidden battalions, published by the Global Initiative against Transnational Organised Crime (GI-TOC), revealed how organised crime impacts six key private sector industries: financial services; technology; consumer goods and retail; construction and real estate; transport and logistics; as well as natural resources. The study uncovered various criminal activities that either directly affect these industries or use them as vehicles for illicit actions (Cartwright and Bones, 2017).

In South Africa, an unsettling trend has emerged in cities across the country: the hijacking of residential properties. Where once we only feared vehicle hijacking, we now have to fear that these criminals will take over our homes – our safe havens.

Property hijacking is no longer limited to industrial buildings and abandoned properties in city centres, it has evolved as criminal syndicates are moving to greener pastures. Criminals are increasingly targeting lived-in homes, bringing the problem closer to you and me. The escalation of these invasions can in part be attributed to the limitations of the Prevention of Illegal Eviction from and Unlawful Occupation of Land (PIE) Act 19 of 1998, which has not been amended to counteract the tactics of sophisticated syndicates.
