Matomela expressed gratitude toward the City for uncovering the operation, which had been concealed in plain sight. The enforcement team raided an abandoned building in Dunoon, where they found bottles resembling whiskey and gin, as well as empty containers and 25 liters of unknown chemicals. Authorities suspect that legitimate alcohol was being diluted and repackaged to mimic well-known brands.
Although no deaths have been reported, Matomela mentioned that regular consumers of the fake alcohol often became ill, experiencing prolonged intoxication or severe headaches. Some fake liquor was allegedly sold at local taverns, with patrons unable to detect the difference from genuine products.
