"Community members are urged not to buy goods that are sold by anybody who does not have papers confirming him as the owner. Community members must also not allow anybody to use them as a channel to organise people from outside to come and buy stolen goods from Thembalethu. If those people do so, they will be supporting criminal activities," said Sapepa.
