BMWU finalises Mupane sale appeal

Weeks ago, the Competition and Consumer Authority (CCA) approved the transaction, despite the union’s attempts to block the deal on the grounds that it was contrary to public interest.

“We are filing our appeal with the Competition Tribunal next week,” BMWU executive secretary, Kitso Phiri told BusinessWeek. “We have written to the Minister of Trade and Industry requesting his direction to confirm whether the authority was acting under his instruction. He has not responded. “We are awaiting his response before filing.”
