Court
Eastern Cape High Court, Mthatha
Case number
2227/2023
Judge
Zono
The court found that the applicants' grounds for leave to appeal were without merit. The remittal order was justified under Section 8(1)(c)(i) of PAJA and Section 172(1)(b) of the Constitution, which empower courts to grant just and equitable remedies, including remittal for reconsideration by the administrator. The applicants' argument that the remittal was not sought by any party was rejected, as the relief sought was broad enough to encompass such an order. The court held that the fourth respondent was lawfully appointed and the proceedings were still extant, thus he was not functus offici…

Court
Special Tribunal
Case number
GP07/2023
Judge
Mashile
The Tribunal found that the procurement process for the award and extension of the contract to the joint venture was materially irregular and unlawful. The advertised tender period was changed from 12 months to 3 years after bid closure, limiting competition and violating transparency and fairness. Committee members were not properly appointed in writing, and the construction component failed to comply with CIDB registration and advertising requirements. The contract extension was unauthorised and not approved by the Accounting Officer. These irregularities contravened section 217 of the Cons…

Court
Limpopo High Court, Polokwane
Case number
HCAA40/2023
Judges
Bresler AJ, Naude-Odendaal J, Du Plessis AJ
The court found that the award of Tender 06/2012 to the appellants was unlawful and invalid due to procedural irregularities and non-compliance with statutory and constitutional procurement requirements. Despite the respondent's delay in instituting self-review proceedings, the importance of upholding the rule of law and legality outweighed the delay. Both parties had performed under the contract, and there was no evidence of fraud or bad faith by the appellants. The court held that, although the contract must be declared invalid, justice and equity require that the appellants not be deprived…
