Over the last few months, a huge spotlight has been directed at foreign national stores which sell fake and expired products to unsuspecting customers. In fact, Patriotic Alliance leader Gayton McKenzie has dedicated a lot of his time to exposing these shops and their owners. Another questionable establishment has been uncovered on X after a customer saw that they were selling Woolworths branded milk at a cheaper price.

While some argued that the milk could have possibly been stocked from Woolworths, others dismissed that idea based on the reputation of many of these stores have around the country for selling fake products.

MZANSI IS DEEPLY CONCERNED

In the comment section, many blasted these store owners for continuously putting South Africans in danger with their shady products.

Others however argued the unlikely possibility that the milk was stocked from an actual Woolworths store.

“I find it weird that the first response to seeing Woolies milk in a spaza shop is that it’s “fake milk” etc. Are people not allowed to buy in bulk from other stores and resell? Sometimes trying to think with an open mind helps. Idk,” one person said while another wrote:

“The brazenness of it all shows how they know South Africa has no law enforcement. If by any chance the law does eventually catch up to them, a few cries of “xenophobia” and they will be left alone..”
