The watchdog was due to finish its investigation on Thursday, after it was granted a 15-day extension to complete its scrutiny.

It has already extended the deadline four times.

"I confirm that the competition Commission will not be issuing a decision on the SAB-ABInbev merger yesterday. There will be another extension," Competition Commission spokesman Itumeleng Lesofe said.

Lesofe said details would be provided at a later stage.
