| Abstract: |
Durban - The National Consumer Commission (NCC) has launched a national clampdown on illicit goods and expired foods to investigate allegations that fake and expired foodstuffs and other goods are being sold to consumers. NCC spokesperson Trevor Hattingh said they would be conducting compliance inspections along with various other authorities, including municipal police and health services in all nine provinces, in an effort to get to the bottom of the allegations and to prosecute the perpetrators. This comes after violent protests and looting - over the alleged sale of illicit goods and expired food - left three people dead in Soweto last week “ We instituted an investigation into the allegations. |
