Though noting that the recent economic situation in the country makes people want to cut costs in different ways and with makeup when people can't afford the original they opt for the fakes, she insists that when you buy or see people buying fake products and keep quiet about it, that's also abetting!

"As long as people seek to buy the fake of a product there will always be a demand. If you see people buying fake products and say nothing then you are abetting".

"Economic issues make people want to cut costs there would be more people creating fakes of something or buy the fake of something as they can't afford the original and because someone is buying (the fake) someone is selling! "The only reason there's a supply is because there's a demand for it". She says.
