Counterfeit Bafana Bafana jerseys were among hundreds of fake clothing items confiscated during a by-law enforcement operation in Marabastad on Saturday.

The multi-agency raid, led by City of Tshwane Executive Mayor Dr. Nasiphi Moya in partnership with the South African Revenue Service (SARS) customs unit, forms part of the municipality’s aggressive “Reclaim our city” strategy targeting illicit trade, hijacked infrastructure, and unlicensed businesses across Pretoria.
