I heard through the grapevine that Cafe Vefa in Wynberg (Cape Town) was also apprehended.

100 discs?
Using this calculator I borrowed from a friend at the BSA, that seems to be roughly $100 billion(US) worth of software.

Well done, about time these people were arrested, how many thousands of games have been illegally sold via flea markets?

Good, its about time they clamp down on illegal software sales. If you can not afford Windows + Office go install Linux + Libre Office or go without.

Nuff said.

Microsoft will be going bankrupt soon due to those lost sales.
