Event Venue & Directions
Protect Your Business
Join us for an interactive and practical training session focused on combating illicit trade and counterfeit alcohol in South Africa. This programme is designed to equip industry stakeholders, law enforcement officials, regulators, retailers, distributors, and brand owners with the knowledge and tools needed to identify, investigate, and address illicit and counterfeit products within the marketplace.
Participants will gain insight into the latest trends, methods used by criminal networks, and the economic, health, and safety risks associated with illicit trade. The training will cover counterfeit product identification, packaging and labelling indicators, suspicious supply chains, tax stamp and closure fraud, intelligence gathering, reporting mechanisms, and best practices for enforcement and prosecution support.
Through real-world case studies, practical examples, and collaborative discussions, attendees will develop a stronger understanding of how public and private sector partnerships can effectively disrupt illicit trade and protect consumers, legitimate businesses, and government revenue.
