South Africa is poised to extend tariffs on frozen bone-in chicken from Germany, the Netherlands, and the UK—set to expire this Friday—after local poultry producers warn that lifting them could unleash dumping and devastate their industry. The International Trade Administration Commission (Itac) has already found preliminary evidence that removing these duties would harm local businesses, citing potential drops in sales, profits, and production. With industry pressure mounting and Itac’s investigation ongoing, the fate of these protective tariffs hangs in the balance—but early signs suggest they’ll likely stay in place to shield South African poultry farmers from foreign price undercutting.

South Africa’s new tire rebate program targets agricultural and forestry vehicles, slashing import duties on tires under 91cm rims to ease farming costs—and ultimately, consumer prices. Triggered by Itac’s finding that no local manufacturers exist in the SADC region, the move aims to prevent unnecessary price hikes. Importers must secure permits, prove price reductions will reach farmers, and undergo regular audits to protect future local manufacturing. Initiated by importer Tubestone, the policy supports a vital sector struggling with rising input costs.

The Competition Commission is turning its spotlight on the tech world, cracking down on hidden mergers that could stifle innovation. They’re now watching small acquisitions—especially those buying startups with high-potential tech or talent, not just current revenue. Even if the target is tiny, if the deal hits a value threshold or the buyer is a giant, it’s under scrutiny. The Commission is calling on the public to report suspicious deals that might squash future competition before it can take flight.
