SCA finds W Cape’s Royal Security services deal was ‘cost-effective tendering’

The Supreme Court of Appeal has dismissed an application to interdict a tender awarded by the W Cape Department of Infrastructure to Royal Security.

The SCA found it was common ground during litigation that the price Royal had tendered was “most favourable” to the provincial government. The bid, the court noted, was “lower than all the others by a significant margin”.


Royal’s bid of R282-million for the 24-month contract was 18.45% below the pre-tender estimate, whereas Seal and Tyte had exceeded the estimate by 5.62% and 1.35% respectively.


The SCA quoted an earlier opinion by Judge Patrick Gamble that “at the end of it all, the approach adopted by the province was in accordance with the touchstone of public procurement — the promotion of competition and cost-effective tendering. Importantly, the exercise resulted in a significant saving for the public purse — around R83m when compared to Seal’s price.”

Close borders to the extreme, with even mass deportations.

I totally have no problem with closing borders and mass deportation, the ANC and Mckenzie should be able to find one another there, he obviously won't get everything he wants but there should be a lot of common ground on illegal immigration, the ANC has just not been brave enough to do what needs to be done and Gayton will be the catalyst to get things going.

If they close him out then the ANC stands to lose a lot more to the PA in 2026, it's better to work with him, the nonsense of dismissing valid issues on illegal immigration as xenophobia is no longer going to work.

Doubt the ANC are interested in Trumpist wall building. It's counter their DNA. Though if they keep destroying this country they'll achieve an equilibrium with neighbouring countries where there's no more flow in either direction.
