Strategic Goals
Effective competition enforcement
and merger regulation
The Commission effectively uses its mandated instruments as per the Act. This includes the regulation of mergers and acquisitions, the investigation and prosecution of instances of abuse of dominance and restrictive conduct and the unravelling and dismantling of cartels through the primary tools of investigation, prosecution, and remedies, including financial penalties.
OUR PRIORITY SECTORS
As one of the economic role players, the Commission has a responsibility to contribute solutions to South Africa’s challenges. These challenges require a strategic approach, where the Commission is both responsive to the environment and proactive in contributing solutions. Against this ideal, the Commission chose to target seven priority sectors in the reporting period for proactive intervention.
- Food and agro-processing
- Healthcare
- Intermediate industrial inputs
- Construction and infrastructure
- Banking and financial services
- Information and communication technology
- Energy
The sectors were selected taking into account South Africa’s economic policies, the volume of complaints received in the sector and market failures which the Commission has identified through past investigations and scoping exercises. The Commission has a duty to promote competitiveness in these sectors to level the playing fields and open up the markets, with a view to promoting economic growth.
Strategic collaboration and advocacy
Strategic collaboration and advocacy The Commission develops strategic partnerships with complementary stakeholders to attain inclusive growth through various instruments, including competition and industrial policy. The implementation of these policies, to achieve inclusive growth, requires strong co-ordination. This bolsters the case for collaboration with those who are also mandated to have a positive impact on job creation, small, medium and micro enterprises (SMMEs), market entry of historically disadvantaged persons (HDPs) and consumer welfare.
