As we continue to commemorate 100 years of women in law, we bring you another insightful episode of the CDH Women Empowerment podcast series. This month we are joined by Belinda Scriba.

Belinda, a Director in our Dispute Resolution practice and Business Rescue, Restructuring, and Insolvency sector joins CDH Conversations to discuss her the legal profession and more. Her extensive experience includes litigation and arbitration (international and local), insolvency and business rescue, corporate and commercial contractual disputes, Companies Act disputes, maritime, and international trade.

Today, Belinda delves into her expertise in maritime law, its significance in global trade, and the unique challenges it presents. From her dreams of being a pilot to the inspiring women in her life, the need to remain true to oneself as a woman, as well as the constant evolution of the maritime field, and her most memorable experience in the field.

As we continue to stand in solidarity with the activists who began the Women’s Global Leadership Institute in 1991, we take a moment to reflect on what can be achieved through collective commitment and resilience in building a safer South Africa for all. The annual 16 Days of Activism for No Violence Against Women and Children Campaign aims to raise awareness of the enduring and devastating impact that gender-based violence and femicide (GBVF) have on women and children, and on our society more broadly.

The soon to be ‘new’ preferential procurement framework

In addition to regulating public procurement generally, the long title to the Procurement Bill states that the Bill is meant to prescribe a framework within which preferential procurement must be implemented. Of course, this must be so, because the Constitution requires national legislation be enacted to provide for such a framework. It is important to note, however, that in as much as national legislation must prescribe a framework, the prerogative power to create and implement a preferential procurement policy within that framework remains with the individual organs of state and institutions. This was confirmed by the Constitutional Court, and is something that cannot be taken away from procuring entities by the Procurement Bill.
