Chinese businessman with expired visa charged for selling fake alcohol
This comes after a Chinese national was charged with contravening the Consumer Protection Act, number 68 of 2008, after he was found with illicit alcohol.
Methanol can be found in products such as anti-freeze and paint remover and it can cause confusion, loss of coordination, vomiting, irregular or slow breathing, blue-tinged or pale skin, low body temperature, and it is also corrosive to internal organs and may easily and quickly result in liver sclerosis or cirrhosis.
Free State DESTEA MEC Thabo Meeko expressed deep concern towards safety risks associated with the consumption of illicit alcohol.“Clearly, if we bring all expertise to work together as a collective, we can achieve more, as this is a promising journey proving that we can reclaim our economy, reconstruct and restore it to the people of the Free State. We will leave no stone unturned to ensure that the perpetrators are brought to justice,” he said.
The business address of the suspect reflected as Botshabelo but it operated in Bloemfontein. He had a working permit and his visa had expired.
