KwaZulu-Natal police and Police Commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi are seen inside a warehouse in Durban where counterfeit goods and expired food items were discovered during a raid on 20 November 2024.Mkhwanazi and Premier Thami Ntuli yesterday evening led a team that discovered at least two warehouses in the south of Durban near Bluff storing expired food items, counterfeit alcohol and prescription medication.Mkhwanazi says a thorough probe will assist them in obtaining all the information.
“It’s part of an investigation about the goods coming into this country and where they will eventually be. At least we have an idea but what we have to investigate further, we need brand owners to give us statements that these goods indeed are not theirs so that it becomes part of the case docket. So, we need to know who’s bringing it in – where do they send it to; and who they sell it to and the eventual final destination.
Ntuli says since the start of the Provincial Council Against Crime initiative, whistleblowers are more willing to work with law enforcement agencies to report warehouses that are used to store expired food. The Premier says communities in the province are encouraged to get more involved and work with the police.
“I’m in a very big warehouse that keeps goods from the ports where an informer has told us of the substances that are poisonous killing children which are being used here…a lot of the goods are expired but meant to be transported to all over our province and to Southern Africa. So, people are now bold to report.
