In the meantime, the treasury has initiated a public comment process about amendments it had tabled to the regulations in March in accordance with an earlier court order.
The government was given 12 months to amend the regulations and make them constitutionally compliant, but this process was delayed by a constitutional court challenge by Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana. In its judgement, the court found that there had been “no confusion” about its order and that “the halting of government procurement had to be laid at the door of the minister who had misread the order”.In March, all government entities apart from Eskom were instructed to hold on issuing tenders because of the confusion over the SCA ruling, while all requests for variations and procurement over R30 000 had to be authorised by the treasury.
In a clarification note issued on Monday, a treasury spokesperson said the constitutional court had set aside the 12-month suspension of the invalidation of the 2017 regulations by the supreme court of appeal until 15 February 2023. “From today all new quotations must be requested and tenders must be advertised and dealt with, in accordance with the 2017 regulations,” the advisory note read.
Tell us which deadline has ever been met by our so called rulers? I don't want to call them government coz they don't deserve it. Government is an institution that is in control of their responsibilities. Ours is a reactive one. They only react when things are worse for fixing.
