According to the Saturday publication report, Fifa’s legal team, Spoor and Fischer, have confirmed that the majority of the illegal goods are coming from the Far East, in particular China.
Local Organising Committee spokesperson Rich Mkhondo says the committee is concerned, but they are confident that the police will deal with the issue.
