The Communications department says more than a 106,000 illegal pirated DVD’s with an estimated street value of R 106 million will be destroyed in Cape Town.
Communications Minister Nomvula Mokonyane, with the Film and Publication Board (FPB), in partnership with the SAPS, City of Cape Town Informal Traders Unit, City of Cape Town Economic Development and Cape Town Metro Police will lead the destruction on Tuesday.
The illegal DVD’s were seized at various raids conducted in Cape Town and Durban.
GCIS says most of the confiscated material was not classified and contained age-inappropriate content, which should not be sold on the streets and taxi ranks.
“This material poses the risk of exposing children and the vulnerable to disturbing and age-inappropriate content. The DVD’s earmarked for destruction are exhibits of concluded court cases, conducted in Cape Town and Durban.”
GCIS says the destruction is conducted purely to prevent the confiscated DVD’s and CD’s from finding their way back to the illegal market.
