  • Dynamics of Competition in Two-Sided Markets with Differentiated Products: a Case Study of the Radio Industry Following the Primedia/New Africa Investment Ltd Merger
    Work in progress, not for citation purposes Dynamics of competition in two-sided markets with differentiated products: A case study of the radio industry following the Primedia/New Africa Investment Ltd merger Rantao Itumeleng1 Abstract The decision by the Competition Tribunal to unconditionally approve the Primedia/New Africa Investment Limited merger case (NAIL) is the subject of this paper. This study conducts an impact assessment of the Primedia/NAIL case. It does so using market definition as the first step in the assessment of competition in the Gauteng commercial radio industry. In markets with two different groups of customers, repositioning is fundamental in the assessment of anticompetitive effects post-merger. Utilizing tools identified in literature and international cases, the study adopts an ex post approach to assess competition in the Gauteng commercial radio industry. Findings indicate that in mergers that do not lead to join control, merging firms’ stations reposition away. Highveld and Kaya repositioned away from each other post-merger. Because of this dynamic nature of radio as well as the structure of the market in Gauteng, no effective competitors to Kaya and Highveld in the relevant market, Highveld and Kaya’s prices rose faster than other radio stations’ prices post-merger. At an industry level, competition also deteriorated post-merger as prices rose significantly mainly because of few sales house. These findings imply that the initial decision by the Competition Tribunal to approve the merger unconditionally may be incorrect. Keywords: Unilateral effects, coordinated effects, Repositioning, Partial acquisition 1. Introduction Prior to 1978, radio was the leading electronic medium in South Africa before being surpassed by television (Competition Commission, 2006:1).

    T h e Medi a De vel opme nt and Div ersi ty A g e n c y The Position Paper process The Media Development and Diversity Agency (MDDA) Position Paper was finalised taking into account public comments received in February 2001, the public hearings conducted by the parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Communication in March 2001, and consultations with stakeholders throughout 2001. This Position Paper contains the underlying philosophy and rationale of the MDDA, and as such represents government policy that has guided the drafting of the MDDA Bill, which will be debated in Parliament during 2002. The Executive Summary is available in all official languages on request. This Position Paper is also available on the GCIS website: http://www.gcis.gov.za page 1 "Everyone has a right to freedom of expression, which includes: (a) freedom of the press and other media, and (b) freedom to receive or impart information or ideas." From the South African Constitution, Chapter Two, Section 16 "Open debate and transparency in government and society are crucial elements of reconstruction and development. This requires an information policy which guarantees active exchange of information and opinion among all members of society…….. The democratic government must encourage the development of all tiers of media – public, community and private. However, it must seek to correct the skewed legacy of apartheid where public media were turned into instruments of National Party policy; where community media were repressed; where private media are concentrat- ed in the hands of a few monopolies, and where a few individuals from the white community determine the content of media.

    ANC submission on Media to the TRC The Role of Media under Apartheid African National Congress Submission on Media to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission September 1997 CONTENTS Preface Section 1 The Context Section 2 The Media as Employer Section 3 The Media as Disseminators of Information Section 4 Stratkom and the Media Section 5 A Few Observations on the Role of the Media Section 6 The Contribution of the Independent Media Conclusion Postscript PREFACE The South African media is not a monolithic institution, and any examination of the role of the South African media during apartheid therefore has to distinguish between its various sectors - each of which had particular objectives and characteristics, and each of which played a particular role, during the period under review. This document examines the role of the media under apartheid by: ● looking briefly at the context in which the mass media operated; ● examining the role of media institutions as employers; ● studying the role of the mass media as disseminators of information (i.e. as publishers or http://web.archive.org/web/20080625034447/www.anc.org.za/ancdocs/misc/mediasub.html (1 of 19)1/25/2011 7:12:39 PM ANC submission on Media to the TRC broadcasters); ● making observations on the activities of the mass media in bolstering apartheid; and ● acknowledging the valuable role played by the alternative/ progressive/independent media in reporting a broader truth. Section 1 THE CONTEXT The apartheid system - condemned by the United Nations as a crime against humanity - denied all South Africans their basic human rights. Those working in the media were denied certain rights as workers - they were prevented from collectively organising and mobilising.

Aan alle dosente van die departement Nederlands, my opregte dank vir hul bydrae tot my opleiding. Hul warm en entoesiastiese belangstelling in die heil van hul taalgenote in Suid-Afrika sal my altyd bybly. Ook wil ek drs. G.A.J.

  • 2019 Findings on the Worst Forms of Child Labor: South Africa
    South Africa MINIMAL ADVANCEMENT In 2019, South Africa made a minimal advancement in efforts to eliminate the worst forms of child labor. The government launched the Prevention and Combating of Trafficking in Persons National Policy Framework to help government agencies improve capacity and coordination on combatting trafficking in persons. However, children in South Africa engage in the worst forms of child labor, including in commercial sexual exploitation and forced begging, each sometimes as the result of human trafficking. Labor inspectors are not authorized to assess penalties, and social programs are not sufficient to address the scope of child labor. In addition, barriers to education remain, especially among children without proper identification documents and children with disabilities. I. PREVALENCE AND SECTORAL DISTRIBUTION OF CHILD LABOR Children in South Africa engage in the worst forms of child labor, including in commercial sexual exploitation and forced begging, each sometimes as the result of human trafficking.
