On the surface, Randolf Jorberg - with his bright yellow t-shirt, sunglasses and newly dyed yellow beard - is an eccentric character. But on the streets of Cape Town, heโs a well-known business owner who used to run one of the best beer houses on Long Street. In recent years, though, Randolf has been forced to retreat from the spotlight as protection rackets targeting small businesses have flourished. Cape Town has become the extortion epicentre, with violent criminal syndicates operating across the city. In 2015, Randolf refused to pay protection money. Weeks later, his doorman was assassinated. He says it was a clear message: pay up or suffer the consequences. Alleged underworld kingpins are currently on trial in the Western Cape High Court, but that hasnโt stopped their henchmen from wreaking havoc. Carte Blanche examines the underbelly of the Western Capeโs deadly extortion rackets.
