South African authorities dealt a blow to criminal activity on two fronts this week. In Centurion, a joint operation by the National Counterfeit Unit and Commercial Crimes Investigations netted four Zimbabwean suspects and over 3 000 litres of fake petroleum oil.
The counterfeit oil, valued at over R225 000, imitated well-known brands. The arrested individuals will face charges under the Counterfeit Goods Act.
Meanwhile, at the Beitbridge port of entry on the Limpopo border, a separate team seized seven inflatable boats suspected of being used for smuggling counterfeit goods between Zimbabwe and South Africa.
The boats were confiscated by border police during Operation Vala Umgodi.
