EXCLUSIVE: Panic as fake condoms scare hits Gauteng , with SABS distancing itself from its logo on condom packsSome Gauteng residents have been living in fear after using what they thought were counterfeit condoms sold at spaza shops dotted across the province.
“I am a single man and a father of four children. Worry ate at me but I could not show the woman I was with, because that would instill panic in her. I later bought another pack from the same shop and realised that this packaging was not in line with what I know. I have been using this brand for a decade and I know it well, if I analyse the pack," he said.
“I use the government-issued condoms because my friends and I are well aware that we cannot trust these condoms sold at spaza shops. They are fake, and no one knows their origin,” said Sibo, a mother of two. The other glaring difference is that some packs of the sky-blue studded Trust condoms are written “Compliant with WHO specifications”, with a label stating “studded” or “smooth” while the suspicious packs bought in spaza shops are written “World Health Organization compliant” with no label of the variety.
On the glaring differences on the packaging, SABS stated that SANS4074 approved condom boxes will be written Compliant with WHO specifications, and they will be labelled “studded” or “smooth”. Additionally, SABS has raised red flags on the boxes of condoms written “World Health Organization compliant”.
