ILLICIT TRADE IS ALL ABOUT SUPPLY AND DEMAND
According to Johann van Loggerenberg, former SA Revenue Services executive and author of the book The Tobacco Wars, the trade in illicit cigarettes is a simple supply and demand issue.
“When six to eight million people want something (they’ll get it) even if the legitimate suppliers have been shut down,” he said in post on his Facebook page.
