Over two million containers enter South Africa's harbours every year and many of them contain tons of counterfeit goods or millions of rands worth of drugs.
There is increasing pressure on police and other agencies to crack down on the flood of counterfeit goods and drugs pouring into the country in steel containers through nearly every harbour.
But experts and authorities warn the import and export opportunities presented by the 2010 World Cup will hamper the battle to stem this criminal tsunami.
Policing South Africa's harbours for contraband is a "cat and mouse game, where the odds are stacked heavily in favour of the mouse", said one expert who has researched illegal activities in the ports.
