The competition commission (together with the Competition Tribunal)
is one of the success stories of the new, democratic South Africa,
an institution that has won respect and admiration for its
fearless, professional regulation of the market in the interests of
the consumer and the citizen. David Lewis was one of the chief
architects of the new competition authorities set up after 1994 and
then became a leading actor in their work. This book is a personal
account of David Lewis's headship of the Tribunal and tells, with
insight, lucidity and often a fine sense of humour, of the way this
new body dealt with the anticompetitive practices of South African
big business. Three main aspects of the Commission's work are dealt
with in the book: mergers, abuse of dominance (i.e. monopolies) and
cartels, and with each Lewis provides telling case studies drawn
from the experience of the Commission. These are often enlivened by
the author's coruscating wit and by his delightful thumbnail
sketches of the characters involved in the disputes, including the
powerful and arrogant captains of industry, the wily Johannesburg
competition lawyers, and the interfering and self-promoting
politicians. This is a book for people in business and in law, for
those who want to understand how a key institution of
post-apartheid South Africa came to be so successful, and for all
those interested in the story of how some of the country's most
powerful businesses got their comeuppance after years of ripping
off consumers.
