- Cape Town (South Africa) --- Johannesburg attorney Quentin Boshoff stood up for the popular Japanese cartoon Dragonball Z against counterfeiters. Boshoff led the destruction of counterfeit Dragonball Z sweets worth R1,8-million at a muddy dumping site in Cape Town. That's worth about 300,000 U.S. Dollars. The enormous shipment of fake DBZ lollipops was first crushed with a bulldozer then buried on the dumping site near the Vissershok municipal dumpsite outside the city.
The fake DBZ fizz-pops (sweets/candy) were imported from Indonesia by a small Cape Town business. The reason law officials could pick out the fake DBZ sweets was because they looked suspicious and come from Indonesia where they don't normally come from.
Boshoff, who acted on behalf of the owners of Dragonball Z, filed a complaint and the sweets were confiscated. The company that imported the fake goods into South Africa decided to settle with the destruction of all the sweet, instead of facing fines of R5,000 ($800 dollars) or three years' imprisonment per item.
