ADDITIONAL PART
The competition policy promoted a competitive economy by:
● investigating unfair competition in the country by institutions like Competition
Commission, Competition Tribunal and Appeal Court. ✓✓
● functioning as an investigator and evaluator of restrictive business practices. ✓✓
● making recommendations about penalties for business found guilty of abuse. ✓✓
● implementing the Competition Tribunal who accepts or rejects the investigation and
recommendation of the Competition Commission and confirms penalty imposed. ✓✓

Appeal Court. ✓✓
● curbing the economic power of big conglomerates to arrive at a more equitable
distribution of income and wealth. ✓✓
● Regulating mergers and takeovers to regulate market power of mergers. ✓✓
The competition policy did not promote competitive economy because:
● there are still frequent occurrence of investigations into collusive behavior e.g. cement
steel, bread, bank industries. ✓✓
● fines were too lenient and did not act as a deterrent to collusive behavior. ✓✓
● too many dominant firms prevented disadvantaged black industrialist entering into the
market (BEE) ✓✓
● the original competition policy did not take into account the impact of mergers and
acquisitions on SMME’s in terms of fair pricing. ✓✓
● the shortcomings of the competition policy has led to the adoption of the Competition
Amendment Bill which will promote the competition further. ✓✓ (Max. 10 marks)
