Description: A 1998 press statement outlining COSATU’s support for "strict anti-trust legislation." The document rejects business opposition to ministerial discretion in merger regulation and advocates for the forced divestiture (breaking up) of conglomerates that abuse their dominant market position. Key focus areas include the erosion of inherited corporate power, the prevention of excessive pricing, and the inclusion of "public interest" criteria—specifically the protection of jobs—in merger reviews.
