Statistics South Africa’s figures released on Thursday showed that the steel production in South Africa fell strongly in December 2019, dropping by 7.5% from a year earlier, suggesting that the effect of work stoppages owing to the “wild cat” strikes at the steel industry during the third quarter continued to be felt in the fourth. The December fall follows a 3.8% drop year on year in November, revised down from the previously reported 4.5% fall.

The “wild cat” strikes caused a panic among buyers and this led to a sharp increase in steel prices. Ethekwini Builders decided to absorb the increases in steel prices due to the company’s slogan of keeping to the budget quoted. The site manager indicated:
