Officials from the South African Revenue Service (SARS) seized 60 tonnes of clothing from a warehouse in Sasolburg last week that were illegally imported from China and shipped through Botswana. According to SARS spokesman Adrian Lackay on Friday, the goods were to be sent to three large retailers. Although they are believed to be listed companies, SARS would not disclose the value of the seized goods nor the names of the retailers.
