Sunday, 18 August episode of Carte Blanche uncovers a booming, yet illegal, multibillion-rand industry in South Africa centered around counterfeit luxury goods.
Despite being labeled the world’s fastest-growing and most profitable industry, the counterfeit market remains unchecked. South Africa has become a major hub for counterfeit products, with landlocked countries exploiting its position to smuggle massive quantities of fake items.
However, authorities are actively working to combat this growing problem and protect consumers from these fraudulent goods.
Carte Blanche is a South African investigative journalism television series that airs on M-Net every Sunday at 19:00.
Its first episode aired on 21 August 1988 and over the last 34-plus years has earned credibility among South African viewers for its investigation into corruption, consumer issues, and current events.
