- Trade, Industry & Competition
- SA Legal Academy
Port, rail and key feeder road corridor firms are now allowed to collaborate regarding certain vertical and horizontal ‘agreements and practices’ otherwise prohibited under sections 4 and 5 of the 1998 Competition Act.
This is according to a block exemption gazetted on 8 May 2025 and immediately effective. Its purpose is to resolve ‘challenges’ across the network causing ‘bottlenecks and operational breakdowns’.
The block exemption excludes price fixing in respect of customer and consumer goods and services.
