The Competition Commission South Africa
The Competition Commission has a range of functions in terms of Section 21 of the Competition Act. These include investigating anti-competitive conduct in contravention of the Chapter 2 of the Act; assessing the impact of mergers and acquisitions on competition and taking appropriate action; monitoring competition levels and market transparency in the economy; identifying impediments to competition and playing an advocacy role in addressing these impediments. Anti-competitive conduct, whether through price-fixing, information exchange or the abuse of a dominant position, has adverse effects on both consumers and the economy. Consumers are deprived of low prices and product choice. The overall economic effect would be a slow or negative economic growth rate, as companies become lazy to compete and innovate. The Commission balances issues related to consumer welfare with the broader social and economic goals outlined in the Competition Act, such as employment, international competitiveness, efficiency and technology gains, as well as the ability of small and medium sized businesses and firms owned or controlled by historically disadvantaged persons to compete. In order to ensure the consistent application of the Act across sectors, the Commission may negotiate agreements with other regulatory authorities, participate in their proceedings and advise, or receive advice from, any regulatory authority. The Commission is independent but its decisions may be appealed to the Competition Tribunal and the Competition Appeal Court. Commissioner, Tembinkosi Bonakele, is the Chief Executive Officer of the Commission and is responsible for the general administration of the Commission and for carrying out any function assigned to it in terms of the Competition Act. The two Acting Deputy Commissioners, Hardin Ratshisusu and Oliver Josie, assist the Commissioner in carrying out the functions of the Commission.

Future Africa
Future Africa was founded to redesign political, economic and social discourse in Africa by bridging the gap between public policy leaders and proven approaches to address current and future development needs on the continent. We believe in establishing and promoting a system that encourages and enables citizens to collaborate with governments to achieve mutually-defined goals. Future Africa was founded based on the following rationales: I. African governments mostly have an overwhelming reputation for inefficiency, corruption and poor service delivery. II. Governments are composed of citizens and are owned by citizens. Elected officials are citizens first. Youth leadership must be founded on more than agitation We work to ensure that innovative and implementable solutions are developed on well-defined thematic areas. Through fact-finding research, policy reviews and prototyping, our consultants draft comprehensive policy proposals for governments on the following themes: 1. Education 2. Entrepreneurship & Employability 3. Agriculture 4. Infrastructure 5. Natural Resource Management 6. Elections & Democratic Governance 7. Healthcare 8. Peace & Security We are registered in the Federal Republic of Nigeria as Future Africa Empowerment and Advancement Foundation.

The National Consumer Commission
The National Consumer Commission (NCC) is the primary regulator of consumer-business interaction in South Africa, and was created by government under the auspices of the Department of Trade, Industry and Competition (DTIC), to ensure economic welfare of consumers. Consumers play a vital role in the growth of the economy and thus contribute to the national fiscus and the development of the country. The NCC's mere existence in terms of the Consumer Protection Act, Act 68 of 2008 which it administers, is to promote a fair, accessible and sustainable marketplace for consumer products and services, establish norms and standards relating to consumer protection, to provide for improved standards of consumer information, prohibit unfair marketing and business practices, promote responsible consumer behaviour, and to promote a consistent legislative and enforcement framework relating to consumer transactions and agreements. This simply means that the NCC registers and assesses complaints, investigates alleged misconduct by businesses, refers individual complaints to Alternate Dispute Resolution (ADR) agencies (i.e, Provincial Consumer Affairs Authorities and relevant ombudsman schemes) for resolution, and represent consumers in the Consumer Tribunal among other things. The Consumer Protection Act recognizes 8 fundamental consumer rights, in line with the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, and United Nations Guidelines on Consumer Protection, which every consumer of goods and services is entitled to, regardless of the monetary value of a transaction or the significance of the commodity a consumer buys, even if it's just a loaf of bread for daily use. Consumers have rights, any infringement of these rights is an act of non-compliance with the provisions of the Consumer Protection Act.
