A three-day ‘enforcement’ operation by Sars Customs, police and the Home Affairs Immigration division in Ottery’s China City and other Cape Town Peninsula suburbs last week netted alleged contraband goods worth R45 million. In addition, four foreign nationals were detained for contravening the Immigration Act. Included in the haul is branded sports merchandise, including popular soccer club jerseys. Shopkeepers and warehouse owners unable to provide documentation absolving them from illegal activities within seven days could face a R400 000 fine or ten years’ imprisonment.
