The Gauteng high court has, in a recent judgement, given the South African revenue services (SARS) the go ahead to install CCTV cameras in big tobacco warehouses.

The Fair Trade Independent Tobacco Association (FITA),  which represents about 80 percent of licensed cigarette manufacturers in Southern Africa, took SARS to court with the aim of stopping the installation of the surveillance. An estimated R8-billion is lost annually to fiscus as a result of illicit trade of tobacco. Joining Peter Ndoro to reflect on these developments is Sinenhlanhla Mnguni the Chairperson of Fair-trade Independent Tobacco Association
