COUNTERFEIT GOODS WORTH MORE THAN R160 MILLION SEIZED, MANUFACTURING PLANT SHUT DOWN DURING RECENT NATIONWIDE OPERATIONS The South African Police Service (SAPS), in collaboration with its crime-fighting partners, continues to record commendable progress in dismantling criminal networks involved in the illegal trade in counterfeit and illicit goods. This week, police collectively seized counterfeit goods worth more than R160 million during multiple takedown operations in different parts of the country. The National Counterfeit and Illicit Goods Unit led a joint takedown operation in Bellville on Tuesday, 24 March 2026, which resulted in the seizure of counterfeit goods worth more than R117 million. The multidisciplinary team also comprised members from the Western Cape Counterfeit and Illicit Goods Unit, Crime Intelligence, the National Intervention Unit (NIU), Public Order Policing (POP), officials from the South African Revenue Service (SARS) Customs Division, and brand protectors. The team seized over 130 000 counterfeit items, including branded clothing, sports apparel, sneakers, caps, sunglasses, and watches. In Gauteng, police executed several takedown operations in Johannesburg, Tshwane, Meyerton, Vanderbijlpark, and Vereeniging throughout the week. In one operation, the Gauteng Counterfeit and Illicit Goods Unit, with support from various role players, shut down a counterfeit manufacturing plant operating in a medical building in the Johannesburg CBD. Counterfeit goods and label-printing machines worth over R28 million were seized. Additionally, a takedown operation in KwaZulu-Natal resulted in the seizure of a large consignment of counterfeit cigarettes worth over R15 million in Sydenham. These operations form part of ongoing national efforts to address the illegal trade in counterfeit and illicit goods in the country. The illegal trade in counterfeit goods not only undermines the economy of South Africa, but also threatens consumer health and safety, infringes on intellectual property rights, and erodes legitimate businesses.

They told us Rigathi Gachagua had to go because he spoke about shares in government. They told us that language was dangerous. They told us it was tribal. They told us it was a crime against the republic. Now Oburu Odinga stands comfortably in public and talks about “our share in government.” No outrage. No impeachment threats. No sermons about national unity. Suddenly, shares is not a crime it’s strategy. That hypocrisy stinks. Gachagua did not invent tribal arithmetic in Kenya. He only said out loud what Ruto and ODM whisper in boardrooms and practice daily. He said loyalty matters. He said sacrifice deserves recognition. For that honesty, he was crucified. Meanwhile, as Kenyans choke under corruption, collapsing hospitals, broken schools, unbearable taxes, police brutality, joblessness, and a dying economy the political elite are not talking solutions. They are counting shares. They are dividing the country like loot after a robbery. And now you want me Paul Ouma Neko to hate Rigathi Gachagua? To fight Kikuyus? To become a useful tribal idiot so William Ruto can sleep peacefully at State House? Absolutely not. Ruto has turned Kenya into a marketplace of betrayal. He uses communities, dumps them, then hires others to attack the abandoned ones. ODM, once the voice of resistance, has become a rental opposition loud during campaigns, silent in government, greedy at the table. Today it’s “Luo share.” Yesterday it was “Kikuyu turn.” Tomorrow it will be another community. But the suffering Kenyan remains constant. Rigathi Gachagua’s real crime was not tribalism. His crime was refusing to lie. He exposed the system and the system punished him. To hell with tribal arithmetic. To hell with political shares. To hell with leaders who reduce citizens to voting blocks and ethnic bargaining chips. Kenya does not need shares. Kenya needs justice. Kenya needs leadership. Kenya needs accountability. Stop gaslighting the masses. Stop weaponizing tribes to protect a failed presidency. Stop pretending outrage only when it suits you. The problem is not Rigathi Gachagua. The problem is William Ruto and a political class that feeds on division while the country bleeds. Kenyans, wake up. Refuse to be rented. Refuse to be divided. Refuse to hate each other so thieves can rule longer. Enough is enough.
