South Africa's Prevention of Organised Crime Act is designed to dismantle the core ranks at the centre of criminal entities, says the Global Initiative Against Transnational Organized Crime - but it does not cover the secondary networks of enablers who are vital to the smooth running of organised crime groups. The organisation, in a new report, proposes legislative amendments that will fill this gap and criminalise the activities of enablers who knowingly provide support to crime syndicates.
