The Competition Law provides for a merger regime although a number of issues are left for later determination. Section 30 defines mergers to include: affiliations, amalgamations, acquisitions, joint ventures, and mergers by other means prescribed by the Competition Commission. The Competition Law then prohibits mergers where:
a.the merger is intended to lead to excessive domination of the market;
b.the merger will reduce competition in a market with few competitors; or
c.the resulting market share exceeds the thresholds prescribed by the Competition Commission.
