Lafarge Industries South Africa has agreed to pay a ZAR 149 million (US$ 19.8 million) fine, having admitted its part in a cement cartel in five southern African countries. The settlement was reached following a three-and-a-half year investigation by South Africa's Competition Commission into price fixing and market division by the region's four main cement producers - Pretoria Portland Cement Company (PPC), Lafarge, Afrisam (an affiliate of Holcim's) and Natal Portland Cement Cimpor (NPC-Cimpor). The Commission says the cartel started in 1997.
