The former finance minister stated in his budget speech in 2016 that sugar tax would come into force in South Africa from 1 April 2017. The treasury's reason for implementing sugar taxation is to reduce the health problems caused by sugar. It is nothing new to use fiscal measures to recover both taxes and to prevent health problems but it was not yet possible to reach a definite conclusion about the impact of sugar tax on the consumption of sugary drinks and the prevalence of obesity. The reason for this is that there is evidence that the implementation of food tax in different countries has shown different results in terms of public health issues and tax benefits. In South Africa, the implementation of sugar tax can either reduce the prevalence of obesity and thereby have a positive effect on the economy or its implementation may adversely affect the economy. If treasury does not implement sugar tax the economy can also be adversely affected by the prevalence of obesity. This dissertation deals with the effects of non-communicable diseases and sugar tax on the South African economy. The focus is on how sugar tax is being implemented internationally and how South Africa intends to implement sugar tax. / Die voormalige minister van finansies het in sy begrotingstoespraak in 2016 vermeld dat suikerbelasting vanaf 1 April 2017 in Suid-Afrika in werking gaan tree. Die tesourie se rede vir die implementering van suikerbelasting is om, in samewerking met die Departement van Gesondheid, die gesondheidsprobleme wat deur suiker veroorsaak word te verminder. Dit is niks nuuts om fiskale maatstawwe te gebruik om beide belasting in te vorder en gesondheidsprobleme te voorkom nie, maar dit was nog nie moontlik om tot ’n definitiewe gevolgtrekking te kom oor die impak van suikerbelasting op die verbruik van suikerversoete drankies en die voorkoms van vetsug nie. Die rede hiervoor is dat daar bewyse is dat die implementering van voedselbelasting in verskillende lande verskillende resultate getoon het in terme van openbare gesondheidskwessies en belastingvoordele. In Suid-Afrika kan die implementering van suikerbelasting óf die voorkoms van vetsug verminder en sodoende die ekonomie bevoordeel óf die implementering daarvan kan die ekonomie negatief beïnvloed. Indien die tesourie nie suikerbelasting implementeer nie kan die ekonomie as gevolg van die voorkoms van vetsug negatief beïnvloed word. Die kern van hierdie skripsie handel oor die gevolge van nieoordraagbare siektes en suikerbelasting op die Suid-Afrikaanse ekonomie. Daar word spesifiek gefokus op hoe suikerbelasting internasionaal geïmplementeer word en hoe Suid-Afrika beoog om suikerbelasting te implementeer. / Mini Dissertation (LLM)--University of Pretoria, 2017. / Mercantile Law / LLM / Unrestricted

A research report submitted to the Faculty of Commerce, Law and Management, University of the Witwatersrand, in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Management in Strategic Marketing Johannesburg, April 2016 / The study hypothesized a relationship between the dependent variable, consumers’ intention not to purchase, with four independent constructs, namely, health concerns, perceived price, restricted availability and subjective norms, as de-marketing indicators. The study targeted just over two hundred consumers, aged eighteen and above, who had consumed alcohol in the last seven days, in the greater Gaborone area. The respondents were chosen using random simple sampling and quota sampling. Because of this and the fact that the greater Gaborone area makes up about fifty percent of alcohol sales, the results of the quantitative study are reasonably representative. The data was collected using structured questionnaire. The hypotheses and models were tested, and structural equation modelling performed, using SPSS and AMOS software. The study aims to address the gap of body of knowledge on alcohol policy in Botswana and other developing countries. The undertaken literature review revealed that it is only the developed countries that have implemented and evaluated their policies. The developing countries recently followed suit because their economic growth has increased consumers’ buying power and appetite for aspirational brands. The liquor industry’s advertising, promotion and sponsorships grew consumption significantly, along with socio-economic costs, such as absenteeism, alcohol abuse, car accidents, alcohol-related diseases, and the spread of HIV. Botswana’s alcohol policy has been in effect since 2011, under the Ministry of Health. Among others, legislature was revised, government imposed a tax, liquor trading days and hours amended, health-related alcohol public campaigns rolled out, and the legal blood alcohol level lowered. The study has found that the four independent constructs all influence consumer’s intention not to purchase. The biggest opportunity revealed is the effect of subjective norms, which should be exploited going forward. It is hoped by the researcher that this study, not only adds to the body of knowledge, but stimulates more research on the same. / MT2017
