PROPOSED BAN: ADVERTISING OF ALCOHOL
In a statement issued today the CEO of SACCI, Mr Neren Rau, said: QUOTE: The South African Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SACCI) is concerned by reports that it is intended to ban alcohol advertising. SACCI believes that the banning of advertising increases state intervention in legitimate business operations but may not deliver the anticipated tangible benefits. While there have been conflicting research findings, cognisance must be taken of the fact that advertising is but only one of a number of factors that influence the consumption of alcohol, such as peer pressure, parent examples, culture and illegal sales to underage persons. Significant research has also shown that consumption of alcohol has not dropped significantly as a result of a ban on advertising.

SACCI CONCERNED OVER WEAKENING LABOUR MARKET
In a statement issued today the CEO of SACCI, Mr. Neren Rau, said: QUOTE: The South African Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SACCI) is concerned over the 36.7% broad unemployment rate recorded for the first quarter of 2013. The number of unemployed persons and discouraged work seekers increased by 173 000 over the past quarter. This in itself serves as powerful warning that the current culture of knee-jerk industrial action and the increased rigidity of labour regulations stifles employment creation and in turn threatens the stability of the economy.
