In the 20th issue of Cultivate we explore cannabis, its legalization for medical and recreational use and what this means for countries and companies around the world. Find out more. https://t.co/UpFXA5SZJV

Well that certainly puts things into perspective @JohannBiermann1

According to the expanded definition of unemployment, 38.7% of South Africans are unemployed.

That is 10,381,000 people.

If unemployed South Africans were a country, they would be the 88th largest country in the world out of 235 countries.

🤯

Do you know if you are a dominant buyer or supplier in South Africa? Stakes have increased as of today! SMMEs and black owned firms must be treated fairly and on a non-discriminatory basis when selling to or buying from dominant firms. Penalties up to 10% of turnover...

[Rosalind Lake @RosLake_CPA]

As an early Valentines Day gift from Minister Patel, the new buyer power and price discrimination rules to protect SMMEs and black owned firms have come into force today. In a surprise move, ecommerce is included in the buyer power rules. https://t.co/rWZ7XtfK7y

From 12 July 2019 all contraventions of the Competition Act carry a penalty of up to 10% of annual South African turnover? Repeat offenders: be prepared to pay up to 25%! Have you checked your practices for compliance with the new laws? #getintouch #nortonrosefulbright

Smart cities require a new way of thinking in the delivery of major infrastructure, commercial and residential areas and public spaces. Noni Shannon will be a panellist discussing Australia’s #SmartCities at the AFR National Infrastructure Summit on 12 June in Melbourne.

I find this a little depressing... but only because I'm on the wrong side of my chess dreams and about to hit my salary peak apparently. Let's show science its wrong

[Katherine Madley @MadleyKatherine]

Interesting.

With @CompComSA's new budget kicking in, they can focus once again on the many ongoing investigations and litigation. FY19/20 will be a big year for the Commission with its extensive new powers coming in under the #competitionamendmentact

[Hardin Ratshisusu @hardinratshi]

April 1 is important in many ways. For us @CompComSA it marks the beginning of FY 2019/20. We have about 110 and 160 CARTEL CASES in many sectors under investigation and in litigation, respectively. Tough? This is no April fools, it is the reality choking consumers and economy!

[Rosalind Lake @RosLake_CPA]

Agreements between employers not to compete for employees (non-poaching agreements) continue to be a hot enforcement topic for competition authorities over the world and will no doubt rear its head again at ABA spring meeting - https://t.co/i75vXTNL7i

Clear warning issued by the National Consumer Commission in South Africa, that all businesses, no matter how small, must comply with the law. Taking advantage of consumers will not be tolerated https://t.co/O7P3ilPSgO

National consumer commission flexing its muscle and raiding non-compliant companies in KZN https://t.co/WSwgkVtzPF

Raids are extremely invasive and the NCC has broad powers - get in touch if you need help to prepare or make sure you are compliant

[Rosalind Lake @RosLake_CPA]

@HeatherIrv Well done H! I am impressed by the South African representation - we SA competition ladies are obviously rocking it😀
