Dlamini-Zuma's spokesperson Lungi Mtshali told TimesLIVE that there had been 116 cases against the state, 84 of which had been finalised and 32 were still pending. Cogta had been cited in 55 of the cases while the others concerned other government departments. The minister said one of the major challenges being faced is that municipalities have not been able to collect revenue, and the R20bn allocated to assist them under the R500bn relief programme is unlikely to be enough. The Johannesburg metro, for example, is collecting very little of its revenue because people have been unable to pay for services.
The Competition Tribunal rules have been amended to fast-track cases of excessive pricing, and measures have been put in place to protect consumers against unfair prices. About 180 complaints and cases have been or are being investigated for various over-pricing offences. Of those that have been completed, the Competition Commission imposed fines and other penalties on 21 companies totaling more than R13m.
