NATIONAL NEWS - The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) and Finance Minister Tito Mboweni have become unlikely allies in a bid to salvage controversial broad-based black economic empowerment (B-BBEE) legislation which lets government automatically disqualify tender hopefuls whose businesses aren’t majority black-owned.
The Constitutional Court will on Tuesday hear a bid from Mboweni to overturn a November ruling from the Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA), setting aside the revised Preferential Procurement Regulations promulgated in 2017 and the race-based “pre-qualification” criteria they provide for.
