TEXT A Fake Foods Are Threatening South Africa’s Most Vulnerable PeopleMost are unaware that counterfeit food and drink could be dangerous.By Thato Mahlangu 1. Food counterfeiting threatens the world’s most vulnerable people, and more and more people in South Africa are believed to be consuming food and drink that’s putting their health at risk. Businesses in South Africa — especially in townships and rural areas — have been accused of selling fake food items, including meat, bread, and cool-drinks.

2. Often these products are cheap and are in high demand, and many poorer people are left with little choice but to buy and consume these products. But most of these people are unaware of the health implications of consuming these food items. The National Department of Health said this week it has seen with concern the food-related videos that are circulating on social media about the alleged “unsafe” manufacturing of certain fake foods.

The department added that it believes this “fake” and expired produce that’s allegedly being sold to unsuspecting customers is damaging their health. 3. “Due to the high volumes of complaints received by the department in the past few days, we take these allegations seriously as potentially dangerous to human health,” Popo Maja, the department’s spokesperson, told Global Citizen.

The department added in a statement: “While the authenticity of these videos cannot be verified, some cases are currently being investigated by the environmental health practitioners based in municipalities. We have the responsibility to determine if there is truth to these allegations, and where necessary take urgent action against perpetrators.” 4.

According to a statement released by the national Department of Health, they have noted with concern, food related videos that are circulating on social media about the alleged ‘unsafe’ manufacturing of certain fake foods in South Africa. 5. One mother Bongekile Nkosi, from Tembisa, east of Johannesburg, told Global Citizen that her daughter had become ill because of counterfeit foods. “The first time my daughter Phindi became ill I never suspected that it might be the bread we brought the night before at a shop nearby,” she said, pointing out that Phindi, 12, had had no allergies before the incident. 6. “It was as though she had eaten something that was poisonous, and I feared for her life as I had never seen her so ill,” Nkosi added. As Phindi’s condition worsened, Nkosi reportedly went to see a doctor, who confirmed that ingredients used in the bread were making her child sick. “Her immune system was attacked by a raising agent that was put in that bread which the caused her to have diarrhoea and develop what seemed like a cold,” Nkosi continued.

“She had a bad rash which I had mistaken for an allergy.” But Nkosi, like most people, had no idea that many food products being made available to her in shops hadn’t been approved by organisations like the National Regulator for Compulsory Specifications (NRCS).7. The NRCS forms part of the South African Bureau of Standards body and it inspects, regulates, certifies, and tests products before they reach consumers. “But these shops are not inspected, so we are sold harmful products which we consume unknowingly,” Nkosi said. Many businesses, both formal and informal, have come under the spotlight in recent months, according to the Department of Health, for selling potentially counterfeit food products that could be putting South Africans at risk. Maja highlighted several foods and drinks that have been described as fake, harmful, or expired, after surfacing on social media, including beef, mutton, bread, margarine, syrup being sold as honey, baked beans in a fish tin, and coke with “things” moving inside.

Paul Sanders from Eersterust in Pretoria told Global Citizen he believes these fake products not only have an impact on health, but also on the economy.

(1)TEXT BConsumer Commission tackles ‘potentially harmful’ fake food products File picture: David Ritchie/African News Agency (ANA)1. JOHANNESBURG – The National Consumer Commission (NCC) on Monday said it was dealing with allegations of illicit fake and potentially harmful food products, said to be manufactured by operators of small informal shops, and sold to unsuspecting, vulnerable consumers in various parts of the country.2. NCC spokesperson Trevor Hattingh said the NCC had already begun to engage with other relevant authorities, including the South African Police Services (SAPS), the National Department of Health, and the National Regulator for Compulsory Specifications, about issues that have been raised on social networks, and was coordinating the formulation of a strategy to best deal with the allegations and the perpetrators, of what appears to be criminal activities.

3. NCC Commissioner Ebrahim Mohamed said that the NCC was gathering more information, as well as evidence related to the allegations. He is calling on the public to work with the authorities in this regard. “Whilst we condemn any effort by business to expose consumers to any form of harm, we appeal to communities to not take the law into their own hands. As authorities, we are working on mechanisms to decisively and rationally deal with the allegations and the perpetrators, within the confines of the law,” stressed Mohamed.4. In the past week, the NCC said it had learnt about messages on social networks, expressly mobilising communities to engage in protest action against foreign-owned small businesses in various parts of the country, on Wednesday.

• Marks will be deducted if you ignore these instructions.TEXT CClosing the curtain on counterfeiting.In South Africa, the Counterfeit Goods Act (“CGA”) is the principal legislation dealing with counterfeit goods. The CGA provides mechanisms for proprietors of registered trademarks, copyright and marks protected by the Merchandise Marks Act to take speedy and effective action against persons who are suspected of dealing in counterfeit goods, on both a civil and criminal basis.In terms of the CGA it is an offence to deal in counterfeit goods. “Dealing” covers a wide range of activities and includes selling, manufacturing, producing and exporting counterfeit goods.

The CGA allows brand owners who suspect someone of dealing in counterfeit goods – to lay a complaint with an inspector (including a police official holding the rank of sergeant or higher or the Commissioner for Customs and Excise). An inspector has wide-ranging powers to tackle counterfeiting activities, including seizing and detaining the counterfeit goods. Persons found guilty of dealing in counterfeit goods can be fined up to R5000 – for each infringing article or a maximum of three years imprisonment, or both (for a first-time offender). Owners of registered trademarks, copyright owners, and owners of marks protected by the Merchandise Marks Act works may also apply to the Commissioner for Customs and Excise to seize and detain suspected counterfeit goods being imported into South Africa.To utilise the Counterfeit Goods Act, a registered trade mark, copyright in a specific work (such as the artwork of the label on the packaging) or a mark protected by the Merchandise Marks Act is required.

It is accordingly important to ensure that proprietors register their trade marks (brand names, logos etc) and keep a proper record of the ownership of copyright in works, to be able to act swiftly and effectively against counterfeiters. The CGA does not apply to other intellectual property rights such as patents and designs.Apart from the legal measures provided by the CGA, proprietors can protect their packaging against counterfeiting by obtaining a registered design covering their packaging, by filing a design application. It may be possible for the proprietor of a registered design to obtain an interdict against a counterfeiter and/or a court order authorising seizure of goods supplied by the counterfeiter which infringe the registered design. It is important to consider the filing of registered design and patent applications before disclosing the inventions or designs to the public in any way.

To avoid becoming the next victim of 21st century crime, a proprietor should ensure that all intellectual property is secured by trade mark, patent and design applications where applicable.
