The Competition Commission has referred to the Competition Tribunal a complaint against Vita Gas for the alleged abuse of market dominance in the supply of liquified petroleum gas (LPG) from import terminals in the Western Cape.
The commission found that Vita Gas allegedly contravened the Competition Act and exploited its market dominance by entering into an exclusive agreement with the only LPG terminal in the Western Cape – the Saldanha Bay-based Sunrise Energy import and distribution facility.
