Abstract: |
The South African Human Rights Commission (SAHRC) is holding hearings on Wednesday and Thursday on the sale of expired and counterfeit goods. The commission was made aware of recent violence and looting in Soweto and surrounding townships following allegations that foreign-owned shops had been selling expired or counterfeit goods. These hearings will investigate claims that illegal or sub-standard goods have been sold along with the impact that these allegations have had on local and foreign communities. |
