Zimbabwe Adopts US Antitrust Model to Protect Consumers

Zimbabwe controls business competition through a law called the Competition Act Chapter 14:28. Americans refer to similar regulations as antitrust law. These rules exist to keep markets fair and help everyday shoppers. Competition benefits everyone because businesses must work harder to win customers.

The Zimbabwe Supreme Court decided an important case between Innscor Africa and the Competition Commission. The judges explained that healthy competition helps the entire economy grow. When many companies compete, they create better products at lower prices. Government agencies monitor business behavior to stop unfair tactics that hurt consumers.

Experts who study these laws have noticed dramatic changes around the world. As economic thinking has evolved, more countries have created new competition rules. These regulations prevent powerful companies from crushing smaller competitors and stop businesses from working together to charge higher prices.

Competition laws work best when they focus on real consumer benefits rather than abstract economic theories. Shoppers deserve access to quality goods at reasonable prices. The government steps in when companies try to cheat the system. Fair markets create opportunities for new businesses and better choices for everyone.
