17 Feb 2025 DH Brothers Industries (Pty) Ltd t/a WillowtonCompetition Tribunal: Willowton allegedly pays ZAR 1m and commits ZAR 100m to public-interest measures €51,783
In 2016 the Competition Commission investigated several edible oil producers over alleged price fixing and market division; the Willowton Group challenged the investigation in court for years and no findings were made. Under the confirmed settlement, Willowton allegedly pays ZAR 1m without admitting liability and commits to public-interest measures of ZAR 100m over five years (20m education trust, 30m food donations, 50m procurement from B-BBEE companies) as well as a compliance programme.
Even without an established infringement, competition proceedings can end with substantial payment and public-interest commitments; an effective compliance programme is better protection than years of litigation.
