South Africa’s new procurement rules are triggering a fierce debate over race, business and government tenders.
Gareth Cliff examines Treasury’s tender regime, the R20 million threshold, ownership requirements and the wider implications for companies seeking government business. The discussion also raises questions about taxpayer money, procurement efficiency and allegations surrounding a R700 million Eskom fuel contract.
This interview explores who gets access to government procurement, whether race-based requirements improve economic outcomes, and what happens when procurement priorities compete with price, efficiency and performance.
