- Title
Competition v promoting small business and black economic empowerment - an evaluation of South African competition law and its enforcement.
- Authors

- Abstract
The South African Competition Act 1998 has from the outset reflected a clear focus on both competition law and public interest issues, the latter including provisions to enhance small business and overcome historical discrimination wrought by apartheid. Interpretation and implementation of these provisions has developed over time, culminating in the introduction of amendments to these provisions in the Competition Amendment Act 2018, which came into force in 2019. This article reviews the applicable legislative provisions and how they have been interpreted by the competition authorities in practice and through case law, and considers whether they have been effective.
