High Court dismisses embattled Tongaat’s appeal on levies owed to industry

After not paying levies owed to the South African Sugar Association (Sasa) since October 2022, sugar producer Tongaat Hulett has again been ordered by the Durban High Court to pay the outstanding levies. The levies are essential to the economic survival of many sugarcane farmers and the thousands of livelihoods they support, says industry body SA Canegrowers, which welcomes the High Court judgment.
