ZAC loses big in P330m tender dispute

ZAC, a company owned by prominent businessman, Nicholas Zakhem, filed an appeal last year after the High Court ruled against the company’s earlier application. The company had sought the High Court to review and set aside the PPADB’s decision not to award it the multi-million pula tender for the construction of infrastructure development in Metsimotlhabe Block 4.

PPADB had allegedly disqualified ZAC on the basis that its tender application did not meet the tender requirements contained in the Invitation To Tender (ITT) because it did not include a critical path.
