Namibian and South African competition authorities formalise terms of cooperation

7 Dec 2015 1 min read Competition Matters Article

This memorandum of understanding will see increase engagement between the regulators, especially in respect of multi-jurisdictional matters and is most likely to be most relevant to multi-jurisdictional mergers.

The general principle is that municipalities are not obliged to consider unsolicited bids as they fall outside the normal bidding process.

Non-compete clauses are provisions in employment contracts that restrict an employee from engaging in certain competitive activities after the employment relationship ends within a specific time frame and geographical area. Employers often use them to safeguard their business interests. They aim to prevent former employees from leveraging their knowledge and relationships to benefit competitors while also respecting the employee’s right to seek future employment. This balance is crucial, ensuring that the clauses protect the employer’s interests without unreasonably restricting the employee’s career prospects.
