The Competition Commission of South Africa has announced that an ongoing case involving Cafféluxe has been finalised. The Tribunal has penalised Secret River Trading, which trades as Cafféluxe, a cool R750 000 for attempting to price-fix their coffee capsules.

The Competition Commission of South Africa is a government mandated organisation that investigates and evaluates South African business practices.
