Nasan-Vivo merger raises monopoly fears amid Vitol links
The Namibian Competition Commission is investigating whether Nasan Energies' acquisition of 53 service stations from Vivo Energy violates divestiture conditions meant to prevent market dominance, citing alleged connections between Nasan co-founder Miguel Hamutenya and Vitol, Vivo's major shareholder. NaCC preliminary findings warn the deal could result in a combined market share of about 70%, contrary to the regulator's requirement that the buyer be independent with less than 10% market share.
