It warms my poor old soul to see how proactive our SAPs and all the other bodies involved in starting to clear our beautiful cities up from the trash that has invaded our country. I know many believe the apartheid government did more injustcis...but they made sure our country and its borders were well protected. The sooner all these people get sent back to their own countries the better our country will b. Just sad that there are still guys inside the legal system that choose to forewarn these people of the raids.

After hearing the lady talk it makes sense now why they do these raids it's because the big brands are paying for this to be done. If only there was a big brand willing to pay to bring down human trafficking. 😢

[@suh-guy]

Yes they do so to protect their reputation, as mentioned in the video. The big brands are already paying millions in tax. They advertise, sponsor, design etc. The fakes just copy & sell. Now if people can get your stuff cheaply, then everyone in that region will know just how cheap that item is. Meaning they lose respect for that brand.

[@myrahtshabalala5473]

Which is what's needed, joining hands. I suppose it explains the unusual kind of policemen

[@lululets6338]

The difficulty here is these Big companies are protecting their brands or their profits essentially. They would have to have a profitable venture dealing with or selling humans to want to protect them. Sad right? That’s the nature of capitalism… ur idea then becomes an oxymoron. They will then have to ‘traffic/sell’ humans in order to find value in protecting them. It’s all a very selfish act. They wouldn’t lift a finger If it wasn’t hurting their bottomline… on the other hand many a big luxury brands (Balanciaga, etc) have been allegedly involved in trafficking humans & in most cases minors & it goes unaddressed because they can’t provide funds to bust the syndicate, that would mean they are fighting themselves. I hope u understand the point I’m trying to make.
