Navigating change: The new Expropriation Act v the old Expropriation Act

Reflections on the Public Procurement Act ahead of the Constitutional Court challenge to its validity
It has been more than a year since the Public Procurement Act 28 of 2024 (Act) was passed by Parliament (16 May 2024) and almost a year since it received the assent of the President (18 July 2024). However, it has not yet come into operation as the President has not proclaimed a commencement date. Recently, the City of Cape Town applied to the Constitutional Court to declare the manner in which the Act was adopted as being inconsistent with the Constitution and as such, invalid. This article does not get into that application, but the application has made the Act newsworthy again. Riding the wave, we take a brief moment to look at the dispute resolution provisions under the Act – specifically how information disclosure could have an impact on judicial review proceedings.

Reflecting on Human Rights Day and Freedom Day: The Cases of Omotoso and Cwecwe
We celebrate Human Rights Day on 21 March to commemorate the Sharpeville Massacre of 1960 and to signify the nation’s unanimous commitment to protecting and upholding the rights contained in the Bill of Rights. On 27 April, we celebrate Freedom Day to commemorate our first post-apartheid elections and to celebrate our constitutional dispensation.
