Sars officers seize illegal cigarettes

The South African Revenue Service (Sars) this week added to the R54.3-million worth of illegal cigarettes it seized this year in two separate busts at Limpopo border posts. In the first incident‚ at Groblersbridge on Monday‚ a customs inspector’s suspicion that he had observed “a deal… being closed” between a truck driver and clearing agents turned out to be true.
