The High Court has dismissed a challenge by Evolution Engineers/Mason Group JV in a long-running dispute over the Mogoditshane internal roads project, confirming earlier rulings that set aside the award of the lucrative public tender.

The case arose after the Mogoditshane/Thamaga District Council awarded the roads project tender to Evolution Engineers/Mason Group JV. The estimated value of the project is P337,562,741 (VAT inclusive), making it one of the more significant infrastructure contracts in the district.

Following that, several unsuccessful bidders, ZTK JV, Van & Truck Hire (Pty) Ltd, Asphalt Botswana (Pty) Ltd and Estate Construction (Pty) Ltd challenged the award.
