Media Statement WESTERN CAPE – Continued efforts to clamp down on the illegal trade of counterfeit goods were rewarded when fake clothing were confiscated during an integrated operation close to a well-known sports stadium in Greenpoint on Saturday 07 September 2024. The operation between members of SAPS, Law Enforcement and brand protectors from various popular high end products, kicked off when members attached to the operation conducted compliance inspections at stalls around the stadium. During the operation the members confiscated various counterfeit goods, imitations of well-known sport brands, which resulted in the issuing of fines for the illegal informal trading without a valid permit.
The Provincial Commissioner of the Western Cape police, Lt General Thenbisile Patekile, who termed the trade of counterfeit goods as economic sabotage expressed his thanks for the successful removal of fake products from the streets of the Province. “These interventions should act as deterrent and stern warning to those who trade in counterfeit goods”, he concluded.
