Owner Randolf Jorberg has decided to call it quits after receiving death threats following his ‘rallying call to other business owners in the CBD to band together against “extortion, intimidation and racketeering’.
Extortion is alive and well in the Cape Town CBD, and business owners who speak out often find themselves on the receiving end of death threats and violence.
It seems all is not well with some of the bars on Long Street, with some owners claiming that they are being forced to hand over money to some unsavoury characters.
One of Cape Town’s more popular drinking spots was the scene of a tragic murder this weekend that has left both bar owners and patrons in shock.
