Imagine all the ingredients used to make dishwashing liquid, bleach, fabric softener and bath foam being poured into a single 250-litre barrel, decanted into recycled containers with colourant, perfume and additional water added to mimic well-known Unilever brands and sold to customers.
That is how a close source described to Sowetan the process of making fake cleaning products which are allegedly mixed in bulk and repackaged in recycled branded containers.
From there they are allegedly sold to unsuspecting consumers in local markets, including the Rondebult Flea market, also known as Vegieland, taxi ranks, malls and other areas.
