Minister of trade and industry Ebrahim Patel on Thursday revealed that the competition commission has been inundated with hundreds of complaints from consumers who have experienced the price increases and is now ready to take the culprits to task.
The newly amended regulations — on day seven of the nationwide lockdown — as of this afternoon also now make provision for the operation of international call centres for the duration of the lockdown which has been set down for 21 days. He added that the operating times of supermarkets have also had to be reviewed to align with the review of regulations regarding public transport. Particularly in light of the payment of social grants this week, Patel said that some supermarkets have been open since 7am.
Its a free market, as long as there is no price fixing it is perfectly legal.
Hopefully they won't bribe the officials because we all know money makes the world go blind
..they will get a fine of a R1million, which they will just get from the consumers the next day! SO WHO ARE YOU REALLY PUNISHING! Don't fine them, FORCE them to drop price of goods by SAME AMOUNT they raised it, for same period, THEN consumer will not be left PAYING FOR IT ALL
