The Directorate of Customs and Excise continues to make inroads in its fight against pirated goods.

Its Public Relations Officer, Susan Beukes, told NBC News at Rundu that the sale of prirated goods had a destabilizing effect on the country's economy.

Beukes was reacting after Customs and Excise officials confiscated a variety of pirated products with a street value of over 84-thousand dollars at Rundu on Friday.

"The advantage there is, firstly the person who os the original creator of the movie or songs that was pirated he would have enough money and produce more cd's while spending the money locally but if I can take an example of the Chinese they are not banking the money here, they bare the one pirating this movies and DVD's and taking the money out of the country nothing is spend here, nothing is contributed towards the economy of our country, ones we are a pirated free country yes, I think that will be a major boost for our economy because money will be spend locally because local is lekker."

The products were confiscated from eleven Chinese shops and at stalls at the Rundu Open Market.

The exercise followed a two-day anti-piracy workshop for Customs and Excise officials conducted at the town.

The confiscated products were taken to Windhoek to be destroyed.
