EXTRA: Extortion City with Randolf Jorberg | Carte Blanche | M-Net
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- It was a murder that outraged regulars at a popular night spot on Cape Town's Long Street; a senseless killing meant as a message for the owner and a reminder of the violence of those demanding protection money. In 2015, former Beerhouse owner, Randolf Jorberg, paid his last respects to a trusted doorman and finally gave in to the demands of the extortionists. But after living with a deep sense of injustice, he sat down with Govan Whittles to finally give a detailed account of what led to his doorman's death, and how Cape Town's underworld continues to operate.

💛 Yello 👋 and Thank you for providing this space to tell our story. While Beerhouse is now closed, this isn't over, we're just getting started!
@YellowRandolf I was living behind beer house and about a year ago was assaulted by over 20 street thugs attempting to mug me of my phone. 7pm in November right outside the red bus stop. Place has gone downhill so fast. I asked the ccid to call the police and they refused because of a fear for their own safety.
It's not difficult to fix. It's the lack of will power by the authorities. Follow the money...
You're a brave man. I wish you, your family and business nothing but safety and prosperity.
We need more people like you.
Thank you for standing up for your rights and for those who are scared to speak out.
Thank you for bringing this extortion story to light. Most of us hear about it but couldn't comprehend the extent. You are a great person. It is so sad how these thugs destroy lives.
Thank you sir. I think the GNU will clean things up over the next few years. Please come back soon.
In 2008 I wanted to open a Pool bar (bar with pool tables). I found a suitable spot in Long street. Before signing the lease I decided to ask other business owners about security matters. That's when I found out about the extortion gang. I decided not to open the business because I didn't want my business to be ruled by gangs.
Many business opportunities (and hence potential attractions for tourists) do NOT exist because of this.
HAWKS so corrupt 😞
We're praying for loads of British tourists to arrive 😶
It's NOT your fault,Randolph!
The Hawks are responsible.
I saw hawks always parking where illegal things are being sold cause they take bribes they worse then police
4 children were murdered in Cape Town, Khayelitsha in a barbershop for a protection fee.
EC cretins
😮😮😢💔💔💔
Love beerhouse on long! The variety is insane! So terribly sorry for all this trouble. And for the lives lost❤ THANK YOU for standing up. Wishing you prosperity.
Thank you for supporting us over the years... 💛 🍻
There's a FULL VIDEO regular Carte Blanche style on this matter which was released 2 weeks ago: ruclips.net/video/j2MFtwk-ZPA/видео.html
@@YellowRandolf You are such a brave human 🫡💛 strength to you and the families affected 🙏🏾💛
Shocking to know that all the business's in CT are paying gangs for so called protection. Thank you for making a stand against racketeering. It is very important that you have spoken out. It's extortion and its disgusting. May the GNU do something to stop this criminal behaviour.
Realistically, it's not all businesses in CT. MAYBE all the businesses in Long Street, but Def not all of CT.
@zadekeys2194 well these crooks don't seem to discriminate! So perhaps not all, but certainly more than we can know about.
@@zadekeys2194it's ALL OF NIGHTLIFE businesses all over the inner city. In terms of extortion there's nothing that is different for Long Street vs the rest.
@@YellowRandolf thank you for your reply YellowRandolf. As a South African this is soooo sad... Thank you for taking a stand... R.I.P Joe.
It's happening all over the city, they approached my brother at his construction company whilst building a school in the lotus River area. The company eventually had to stop the project and pull out because they wouldn't negotiate with terrorists.
Is your brother’s company the same one where they stole the equipment from? Bc he declined.
Please do ask his brother to get in contact with @ YellowRandolf if this isn't already well known by the (right) authorities.
Government officials involved here obviously!
Yes, it seems to be so common in construction. Many of my uncles are in construction and they told me horror stories. These people are dangerous. The city, in fact the country is held ransom to these mafia style thugs. Our police get paid to be quiet and the government is too weak to tackle it. I pray for change.
Reading the Presidents Keepers was a SHOCK - the incredible work that courageous journalists do. And yet in SA the Law is so so slow. The rotten Politicians have just carried on regardless in SA. All of us being strangled. Imagine the networks growing… it's like mould. When you can actually see the mould on the surface it's a tiny percentage of the organism as a whole.
South Africa has been a gangster state for ages and ages…
Too few South Africans are truly aware of the dangerous situation we are all facing.
Journalists have done SA an INCREDIBLE service!
👏
I would love to read that
We need justice for Joe. Sad for Beerhouse to have to close down due to these criminals!
Shocking this story. Time to fight fire with fire unfortunately. ARMED security needs to be hired
Armed is also what these gangs use to extort businesses.
I didn't realise the City, police and even the Hawks have been, and still are, ruled by the gangs. Walking in Long Street one can feel the underworld currents ... the vibe is gone.
@@ctgr8guy long street lost its spark.
A country with no backbone. truly sad.
Every country has its own challenges such a comment is just ignorance period.
It's more of a country with no real justice than no backbone.... A backbone can cost you your life in many places...
@@tshidisomoraka8861 it's just clickbait
kinda wish that SA was like the US and we had rights to arm ourselves against these demons.
Every young should spend 2 years in the military after school first. Let's start there.
@Malisti04 Yeah but we need better morals. Otherwise those young people will be dangerous in society.
@@mrsoshadabaadman the army teaches , patriotism ,discipline and submit to authorities. It's will not cure everything yes but can help
@@Malisti04 I hear you. I also agree. Imagine it could slash youth unemployment by 50%
Just remember not everyone is right in their heads, some will use those opportunities to steal guns for side businesses and murders.
The shocking thing about this is that even the elderly women selling food in the streets of Khayelitsha must pay this protection fee as well,they have also started to try to extort money from people who are building houses in Mandalay,South Africa is becoming unlivable
It is true and sad. Seeing our country going down the drain so fast.
Watching from🇿🇼 my former boss Randolf. We did works@ Beerhouse in 2012-2013.
The fact that Cape Town / DA / Police hasn't done anything about this yet just means that they have rot inside their house. Where the old Carte Blanche? Where's the follow-ups? Where's the hard questions to politicians and police? Where's the fire?
But at the end of the day it's each paying owners own fault.
It’s like police don’t exist in South Africa.
This is so sad. Not only for business owners but us, as patrons as Long Street has lost that vibe, that street to go to, that part of Cape Town that we all resonated with and now, it is a slum!
With this type of thing you need to get maximum publicity so that it becomes an embarrassment for politicians and government. That is when they take action, otherwise it just continues.
I do hope you are right. Please do share these videos to assist!
All businesses should never be held ransom to operate absolutely disgusting
I have been to beer house on long, and loved it everytime..The staff is amazing and I always met amazing people there.I can't believe this was happening all along...I am shocked and scared because other civilians can get caught up in the fire...
🍻💛
votes have consequences
What a caring man. Very sad.
This man tried to fight and for the most part he has played his cards well ...he managed to say alive😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Very sad that our government and police services let private businesses down like this
He's a legal foreigner or migrant. Being intimidated and extorted by other foreigners. Remember when he said a Morrocan man approached him.
Every foreign owned shops pay protection fees since i remember 2009
Cele was useless.
Our police got too used to arresting people for leaving their homes during lockdown they stopped wanting to solve real crime.
The Morrocans have been doing this in Cape Town for decades.
those guys behind the dock were NOT Morrocans FFS 🙄🤣
@carteblanche your audio channels in the interview are seperated. Interviewer is right, interviewee is left. Its pretty weird in headphones
100% felt the same as I listened to this...
i actually thought my one pod is dead
You're so attentive it's impressive! 😂 I thought something is wrong with my headphones 🤣🤣
i heard that as well
Thank you for this video, highly needed.
Please do an investigation into the extortion ring that is currently running the tiwn of Mthatha, in the Eastern Cape. It's really bad down here. Sasol has closed two fuel stations because the owners couldn't afford the extortion rates. The Thembu king recently stepped in after they started to extort schools in the area. Please look into it or reply with an email address that we can contact you on
Wow, it's really crazy to see where it's all happening... New Police Minister Senzo Mchunu hopefully isn't only talking but also acting!
South Africa needs a RICO-type Act to deal with thè extortion effectively
Absolutely 💯💯💯
Thank you for your bravery Longstreet will newer be the same again locals has been push out I feel like a stranger in my neighbourhood. Like the saying goes Longstreet is for the brave .
I'll never be able to enjoy a night out in Cape Town now. It all just has a black cloud over everything that used to seem so happy and shiny
Let's hope that law enforcement finally starts doing their job.
This guy is on the next level of calling the world to order
LoL I strongly feel it should be normal to call out criminals, say no to extortion and rely in the cops to do their job well. Let's be normal for once 😜💛
Thank you to the journalists and broader light shared of this criminality on our shores.. 🙏🏽
Interviewer/Journalist: Your body language and how you ask your questions speaks volumes as being disingenuous - why?
I felt something off with him too.
He’s an idiot that’s why
true
like he is trying to downplay the amount of seriousness of the entire matter
Akadhakwa uyu
I don't trust that minister.
He is gone
hahahahahaha. catch up please
This blame should be put on DA failing to protect cape town
The National Government is in charge of policing.
The clown of a ex minister bheke cele failed to combat crime in South Africa, lets hope that the GNU will turn things around
This doesn't look like the Carte Blanche i subscribed to, no investigation, no visit to the place in question The Beerhouse, no visit to other sorounding businesses in Long street just to get the mood and hear about it from the victims.
No insert or intro out presenter is sitting down listening to it like a fairy tale for 48 minutes never visited even Joe's family to check how they're feeling, this was a poor work episode nothing much done here. We know Carte Blanche as a no fearing investigating people, expose the thugs have no fear we know about all he narrated it was all over the news we needed more to see action from SAPS in future with the new Minister.
I'm disappointed you could have done better than this with the producers 🙁🙁🙁
ruclips.net/video/j2MFtwk-ZPA/видео.html
I'm not a regular, but I deduced from the title "Extra" that this is a format separate from the normal show. The standard investigative show is still there, so you should be fine if you avoid all the Extra episodes.
Some creatives want to open up businesses but lose interest in this goal due to extortion that has become a huge threat to lives. It's just heartbreaking.
We have three parallel institutions in South Africa; private, government, and mafia.
I sadly tend to agree. But also loudly say that this does need to change!
My dad experienced exactly the same extortion racket in KZN. His company was eventually burned down and we lost everything. We no longer live in the country we loved.
Mmm
Please note that around elapsed time 19:54, the interviewee is inadvertently admitting liability... Randolf Jorberg says that it was his judgment "my fault, my decision that led to the death of her dad"
Carte Blanch team, please check with your legal department and edit out this portion... would not want the 'honesty' being switched up in the courts to a personal liability claim, potentially a claim for loss of life through wrongful death:
'wrongful death. n. the death of a human being as the result of a wrongful act of another person.
What an interview 🎉 you are doing a great job guys by exposing the corruption happening in the country. I thought this is only happening in the location but to my surprise...great content. I've subscribe ❤
It's funny the police station is just 2min away from long street.
That’s wild!
Thank you Gavin, your conversation is next level
RIP Joe
All I can say is DJ Sumbody’s Ayepyep in Cape Town is on upper long street . 🤔
Research who is the new owner now, all the dots will come together
He is wrong saying that it's only night time venues being blackmailed. An acquaintance had a motorbike spares shop in voortrekker road parow and experienced exactly the same sort of blackmailing. This has become the norm in south africa.
Car guards are also a extortion racket, it like protection money
South africa is going down the drain 😢
Didn't this guy perform at the opening of the Olympics? Lol
Sorry about Beer house!!!!! RIP JOE 🙏
Carte Blanche has gone down. The reporting is terrible.
Have you seen the 'regular' Carte Blanche 15 minute episode on this matter? This interview was just released due to the overwhelming interest into the matter.
I am.commenting on carte blance presenter on this clip. Its awful. @YellowRandolf
Is it possible for a lot of these businesses move from the cbd and either go elsewhere or completely shut down? This sounds like a new agr Joburg when Hillbrow and surroundings were hit hard due to crime. We don't want cape town to go that route
It's been a crazy month since the Carte Blanche episode aired, followed by the release of this interview and it has changed and turned my life upside down. My BEERHOUSE business closed after 11 years, as the sale didn't go through. I was forced to leave South Africa and Mark Lifman is doing his usual thing of suing and intimidating witnesses leaving me without a lawyer to defend against him. I am deeply moved by all the positive response received, particularly after Carte Blanche released the 48 minute interview on their channel and I can not wait to return home to South Africa once Mark Lifman is arrested and sentenced for his crimes.
#ExtortionMustEND regardless of whether the criminials are white/foreign/black or whether the victims are black Somalians, SA township residents, Yellow Germans or white South Africans!
Hear hear❤
Like a Andre de Ruyter. Please stay safe.
Very sad story 😢
Thank you Randolf for exposing the criminals and the dark side of owning a business in Cape Town.
So sad and pathetic how the Hawks/police back then let this level of extortion happen.
Should change his name to Mustard Man 😂😂
This country is rotten this type of thing is happening everywhere
Result of a failed State
And this was under the watchful eye of the actor and movie start himself .We give you Bheki Cele 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Hectic, but totally believable!
It's even happening at houses there was a guy who repeatedly threatened me ,till I started to take him seriously he stole the car , which I was only released that he was now in western cape , he got speeding tickets and a fine fro driving down one way .police never found the car .
Loved 🍻 House for its true family vibe🎉🎉🎉sad to see u go😢
We also loved it, (nearly) every day!
Beer House Fourways 🙌🙌😭😭😭
Find out that your life is in danger from journalists is mind boggling.😮
Why is the guy asking questions as if he is being exposed for something !
I'm sad😢
Watch the movie "dollars and white pipes"! This has been happening for very long! It's a South African movie about these people that do this!
I never really commented on things in-fact I never do.
But just my deduction as a fellow journalist, I feel the journalist used didn’t quite understand the assignment.
The questions aren’t posed properly nor is there enough research on the subject matter for him to be asking the questions.
There should have been much more seriousness and much more calculated questions.
And also the difference in the journalists sound sounds like the journalist is sitting in the toilet and the answers are being given in the kitchen.
Poor sound quality
Poor journalistic standards.
Anyways just my opinion.
Don’t take me seriously
I’m just saying.
We could have done better Carte Blanche.
Thanks for the story no less.
Arm chair critic😂😂😂😂😂
i was thinking the exact same thing and i am not even a journalist
@@MRMEYER007 igree
Hes thinking is probably like, 'hey can't extort me if i work online.'
Its sad the man gave up and saw no solution
@@ShaunyKnuckles Ever heard the word hackers? Crime is everywhere
These things happen even in car parking spaces
Sad sad story.
votes have consequences
Thank you for being the mouth of the mouthless. I started a furniture shop in khayelitsha site C in 2011 and had to close it 13 years later (2024) because of racketeering and an unconsiderable landlord (Shoprite properties)
What have we really sunk to in SA.
This is sad, government officials benefit from this.
As a coloured interviewing this guy can't u speak to your brothers to leave him alone.
What is the DA doing about it? Useless party
Felt like drinking a savanna after watching this
Watch out for true caller
All happening under the DA led province! Why does nobody else talk about this !?
Get to work Cape Town!
Please enlighten yourself of the setup of the SA police service, its national gorvernment
😂
Pulls son closer and points!!!
😂
There is no presedent for dealing with extortion most cops find it easier to bend the knee than risk the safety of themselves and family.
Just a heads up to the creatives'sssssss... talking heads are not entertainment... just saying!
Make Nafiz the doorman !
DA keeps the lights on that's a better sa for all 😊
This nonsense killed Bronx.
You will just heqr his missing
Even South African Police extort money from business owners and hey the police are also a gang of sort 😂
The interviewer is so poor.
I know Randolph and remember all too well the info he was releasing about everyone involved on Facebook. I truly worried for his life. I still do frankly. Its insane that these gangs can jsut do this and get away with it.
I am out of the country for the foreseeable future...
@@YellowRandolf are you not afraid they will track you down where you are currently?
No wonder the gangsters rip in this guy.
Ah now there is another old name in the Cape Town underworld ......ol Hussein and the morrocans
Randolf the yellow :) #LOTR
💛 I'll take that. 👌😜
Every boy's dream is to own a bar?
Definitely not my dream.
He said in his “reality“

RIP beer house I will miss bringing my friends there
