The Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Board (PPADB) has appealed a recent High Court judgement that ordered the Board to issue the Tshesebe-Mosojane-Masunga Road tender to one of the previously failed bidders, Cul de Sac.

High Court judge, Michael Leburu recently issued an order directing PPADB to rescind its earlier decision to award the P450 million tender to Land Mark Projects and Van & Truck Hire (Pty) Ltd and award the tender to Cul de Sac instead.

Justice Leburu explained that to award the tender or recommend other companies other than Cul de Sac was irrational. The judge was clear that the awarding of the tender to Land Mark Projects and Van & Truck Hire was null and void in terms of regulations of the procurement. The two companies were said to have previously benefitted from the country’s Economic Stimulus Package (ESP), therefore they could not benefit from another government tender. Leburu explained that Cul de Sac was the only bidder technically compliant and should have been awarded the tender with a recalibration and revision of the pricing thereof, occasioned by the delay and price fluctuations.

Each of the 10 beautiful young women had supporters...
