The City of Cape Town’s Urban Mobility Directorate is seeking an urgent interdict against a group of alleged extortionists attempting to force out the legally appointed security service provider at two new MyCiTi depots.

The depots are on the corner of Spine Road and Mew Way between in Khayelitsha and Mitchell’s Plain on the Cape Flats.

The group want their preferred service provider in the position.

The City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Urban Mobility, Councillor Rob Quintas says the group has attempted to disrupt operations at the depots.

Law enforcement has been deployed to stabilise the situation.

Quintas has warned that any threat of vandalism, intimidation or disruption of municipal services are criminal offences and will be treated as such.

The City is taking urgent action to protect the new MyCiTi Spine Road depot from a group attempting to unlawfully disrupt operations and force a change in security services. The City is seeking an urgent interdict and has opened cases with SAPS.
