The numbers behind South Africa's favourite choice of meat

I'm keen to see what Parks Tau brings to the DTIC. While I was away the Competition Commission published its provisional report in its market inquiry into the SA fresh produce sector. It's an astonishing read for all the wrong reasons. More alarmingly for potential investors will be the commission’s suggestion that African Rainbow Capital (ARC) divest its shareholding in either Subtropico (in which it holds a minority shareholding) or RSA Group (in which it holds a majority stake). The report doesn't allege that these shareholdings were unlawfully acquired by ARC, or that these companies have actually colluded on prices or otherwise contravened the Competition Act. The report merely suggests that there is a concern about “alignment of economic interests and incentives”. It’s difficult to imagine a more investment-unfriendly message. And clearly the CC needs to be brought to heel if the GNU is to succeed in its mission to generate the conditions so vital to creating inclusive economic growth.
