Gauteng Raid Busts 9M Rand Fake Goods | Johannesburg News

Gauteng cops pulled off a massive raid busting over 10,000 counterfeit items — sneakers, phone gear, even Springbok merchandise — worth nearly 9 million rand. It’s part of a nationwide crackdown on illegal fakes that pose real safety risks and hurt legitimate businesses. Just last week, another bust in Joburg netted 1.5 million rand in knockoffs plus manufacturing equipment. Police credit joint efforts with agencies and brands. Meanwhile, Apple is suing a Johannesburg company over fake iPhones seized at the airport in March — now officially confirmed as counterfeit in July — demanding the court block sales and identify the culprits. The fight to stop fakes is far from over. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
