“We have also identified three syndicates, one being linked to 98 buildings, another to 28 buildings and the other to 10 buildings,” said Taioe.

Mosunkutu said he was “deeply concerned” about the hijacking of buildings in central Johannesburg.

“Over 12 buildings were raided recently and 158 undocumented people were found in the buildings. Some of these people are enforcers for the kingpins,” said Mosunkutu.

He said it had become apparent to the police that certain council officials were working with the hijackers.

Naidoo also admitted there were rogue police officers working in cahoots with the illegal occupiers.

“No one will be protected, we don’t care whether you are wearing (a police) uniform or have decades of experience.

“We have investigated, prosecuted and convicted officers who are now languishing in prison,” said Naidoo.
