Let’s stand together and ensure that ethical standards exist in the second-hand goods industry.
Second-hand Goods Dealers must not acquire or receive into his or her possession any suspected stolen goods from any other person;
– only accept goods or items for which proof of ownership are available
– and let’s comply with the provisions of the Second-hand Goods Act, 2009 (Act No 6 of 2009)
Let us close the market for stolen goods. It is a crime and is punishable by law – so too is the receiving of such suspected stolen goods.
Reject and report any goods you suspect could have been stolen to the South African Police Service. Let us break the chain of crime and invest in a safer South Africa.
