Prosecution procedures into alleged price-fixing by certain South African milk producers will begin next week, the Competition Commission said on Tuesday.

Eight dairy companies investigated for alleged price-fixing will be involved in pre-hearings next week, said the commission's head of enforcements, Thulani Kunene.

"The matter will go ahead. It's a large number of respondents. Most of them face more than one allegation," Kunene said. - Sapa
