We are glad that the Constitutional Court agreed with our case that the Public Procurement Act is unconstitutional. We repeatedly warned the Finance Minister and the President that this was unconstitutional, and we were fobbed off.
There is an important principle that we have stood up for here. Working metros have their own scope and powers to pursue different policies that achieve better public outcomes, as Cape Town does. We cannot be held to restrictive national policies that would have slowed down local service delivery and infrastructure investment.
That’s why we’re relieved at the striking down of this Act, which avoids a massive new red tape burden on Cape Town’s infrastructure investments – and the delivery of more dignified services to more people
@shaheenkalla@LCabonena I matriculated in 1988 and my experience was not quite what you share. I was against what the apartheid government stood for, and in 1994 I voted to include non-whites. I still stand for equal rights for all, but we continue to live in politically driven divisiveness
Huh?The source of the story is a judgment by the South Gauteng High Court handed down on 28 July 2026, reported in the media two weeks later. So are the courts are *risking it all* for Mark Burke, a little known MP, because election & PIC & VAT hike. Please take us seriously 😂
@Njabulo21481520@SkyeZedA Why don't YOU go and build them houses you ignorant f*ck. So tired of finger pointing and gas-lighting. The people that actually care and do something for others are never acknowledged, but everything must come for free
@LLB_hard82389 Too much propaganda. The DA currently has 452 non-white ward councillors across the country. We have to believe in something, or we become tainted with hate and anger
