Overview

The Competition Commission is empowered by the Competition Act to investigate, control and evaluate restrictive business practices, abuse of dominant positions and mergers in order to achieve equity and efficiency in the South African economy.

Its purpose is to promote and maintain competition in South Africa in order to: promote the efficiency, adaptability and development of the economy; provide consumers with competitive prices and product choices; promote employment and advance the social and economic welfare of South Africans; expand opportunities for South African participation in world markets and recognise the role of foreign competition in the country; ensure that small- and medium-sized enterprises have an equitable opportunity to participate in the economy; and promote a greater spread of ownership, in particular to increase the ownership stakes of historically disadvantaged persons.

To achieve its purpose, the Commission’s core functions are the following: implement measures to increase market transparency; implement measures to develop public awareness of the provisions of the Act; investigate and evaluate alleged anti-competitive conduct; conduct formal inquiry in respect of the general state of competition in a market; grant or refuse applications for exemption from the application of the Act; authorise, with or without conditions, prohibit or refer mergers of which it receives notice; negotiate and conclude consent orders; refer matters to the Competition Tribunal of South Africa (the Tribunal) and appear before the Tribunal when required; negotiate agreements with any regulatory authority to coordinate and harmonise the exercise of jurisdiction over competition matters within the relevant industry or sector, and ensure the consistent application of the principles of the Act; participate in the proceedings of any regulatory authority; advise and receive advice from any regulatory authority; review legislation and public regulations, and report to the Minister concerning any provision that permits uncompetitive behaviour; and deal with any other matter referred to it by the Tribunal.

Overview

The Industrial Development Corporation of South Africa Limited (IDC) was established in 1940 by Parliament’s Industrial Development Corporation Act No 22 of 1940.

The corporation was established to spearhead the development of domestic industrial capacity, especially in view of the shortage of manufactured goods experienced as a result of the disruption of trade between Europe and South Africa during the Second World War. Since its establishment, the corporation has been instrumental in implementing South Africa’s industrial development policy, establishing some of the industries that have since become cornerstones of the country’s manufacturing sector. These include the petrol-chemicals, mining and mineral beneficiation industries, fabricated metals, agroindustries, and clothing and textiles among others.

Although our priorities and focus areas have evolved over the years in line with the policy direction of our shareholder (Government), the IDC remains committed to its objectives of developing South Africa and the continent’s industrial capacity and, in doing so, playing a major role in facilitating job creation.

By strengthening industrial capacity, the corporation achieves specific outcomes, the most important of which is to facilitate the creation of employment opportunities through companies we fund. The IDC remains committed to promoting sustainable growth and increasing sectoral diversity, thereby boosting local production of goods.

In addition to job creation, IDC funding helps to promote regional development as well as economic integration including advancing Black Economic Empowerment initiatives. Furthermore, our role in the rest of Africa remains to proactively develop and implement strategies that create linkages and integrate value chains across the continent. Through our subsidiary sefa, the Corporation has played a critical role in promoting entrepreneurial development by supporting Small Medium Enterprises (SMES).

Overview

The National Metrology Institute of South Africa (NMISA) was established under the Measurement Units and Measurement Standards Act 18 of 2006 (The Measurement Act); to provide for the use of measurement units of the International System of Units (SI) and certain other measurement units; to provide for the designation of national measurement units and standards; to provide for the keeping and maintenance of national measurement standards and units and to provide for the establishment and functions of the National Metrology Institute.

The continued participation of NMISA and other South African TI entities in international technical infrastructure activities is imperative to ensure a solid technical infrastructure system that allows the economy to take advantage of export opportunities in a dynamic environment with rapid technological development and associated changes in regulations.

Overview

The National Regulator for Compulsory Specifications (NRCS) is an agency of the Department of Trade, Industry and Competition (the dtic). The organisation was established on 1 September 2008, in accordance with the provision of National Regulator for Compulsory Specifications Act 5 of 2008 and emerged as an independent organisation from the original Regulatory Division of the South African Bureau of Standards. The NRCS mandate includes promoting public health and safety, environmental protection and ensuring fair trade. This is achieved through development of and administration of technical regulations and compulsory specifications.

The legislative mandate of NRCS is derived from the following legislations: the National Regulator for Compulsory Specifications Act 5 of 2008, the Legal Metrology Act 9 of 2014, and the National Building Regulations and Building Standards Act 103 of 1977.

The NRCS’s role as regulator is to ensure businesses produce, import and sell products or services that are not harmful to consumers and the environment or that fall short of the declared measured quantity. The NRCS also provides regulatory function for the building industry to ensure building safety, structural stability and uniform interpretation of the NBR and BS Acts.

The vision of the NRCS is to be a credible and respected regulator for the protection of the public, the economy and the environment. Its mission is to develop compulsory specifications and technical regulations, and maximise compliance of regulated products and services.

The NRCS’s strategic objectives are to: develop, maintain and administer compulsory specifications and technical regulations; maximise compliance with compulsory specifications or technical regulations; ensure recognition and awareness of the NRCS; and be a sound, effective and efficient organisational governance.

The broad mandate of the NRCS is to promote public health, safety and environmental protection through the development and enforcement of compulsory specifications and legal metrology technical regulations. While consumer protection lies at the heart of the activities of the NRCS, this function cannot be separated from South Africa’s role as a global trading partner. South African goods and services need to be competitive in terms of cost and quality and, at the same time, be guaranteed to be safe and fit for their purpose. The NRCS’s regulated products and industries include: automotive products; built environment; chemical products, mechanical devices and materials; electrical products and appliances; frozen fish, canned fisheries, canned meat and live abalone; and measurable products, services and measuring Instruments.
