Acsa involved in pricefixing scandal

ACSA has agreed to pay
a R2m fine following
a recent finding of
the Competition Tribunal
that the company had been
involved in price collusion
with Bombela Concession
Company over the charges
for car-rental parking bays at
OR Tambo International.
The Competition
Commission began its
investigation in July 2012
and found that a former
Acsa employee shared
sensitive information about
car-rental parking bays with
the Bombela Concession
Company. According to a
statement released by Acsa,
the employee, who left the
company in 2012, did not
have authority or permission
to discuss such information
with Bombela.
Acsa further states that, at
the time of the discussion,
the company had already
entered into a five-year
agreement with the various
car-rental companies,
which would have made
it impossible to readjust
prices. The statement
