Litigation: City wins R364m water and sanitation tender case
“The City of Cape Town has won a Western Cape High Court case over the non-finalisation of a tender worth R364m for the provision of professional services for water and sanitation with 11 companies, because none of the tenderers had indicated that they had a local office in the Cape Town municipal area. A Cape Argus report says the five companies that brought the application against the city had wanted the court to review and set aside the decisions of the city’s council meeting in October 2020, which resolved to accept a recommendation not to conclude the contracts with any of the companies. In addition to the city, the municipal speaker and the city manager, the respondents were the other six firms that lost out on the tender. The six companies cited as respondents did not participate in the case. The applicants claimed that they, together with the six companies mentioned as respondents, were all successful bidders for tender 293C for the provision of multi-disciplinary professional services to the city’s Water & Sanitation Department. According to the recommendation, the financial implications were estimated at R364m, excluding VAT, over a 60-month period. The main application prompted the city to bring a counter-application for self-review to set aside decisions it had made earlier. Judge Judith Cloete said: ‘There is no dispute that, objectively, the city delayed in launching its counter-application. However, the city argues that what it was not required to do was to launch costly and time-consuming legal proceedings in circumstances where it had the option of solving the matter quickly and cost-effectively through a pending statutory process.’ In her ruling, the judge chose to overlook the delay and ordered: ‘The main application is dismissed and the counter-application succeeds.’” Full Cape Argus report. Judgment.

Environmental: Ruling brings death knell for coal power project

A court ruling to invalidate environmental approvals for the Khanyisa Coal Power Station has dealt a deadly blow to the proposed project, says a Business Day report. In a ruling handed down by the Gauteng High Court (Pretoria) yesterday, it was declared that environmental approval for the planned 600MW Khanyisa coal-fired power station has expired. According to the Centre for Environmental Rights (CER), which represented the applicants, the order is effectively ‘the final nail in the coffin’ for the proposed coal plant, which has met countless legal and other hurdles since its inception. The ruling comes after Thabametsi, another proposed coal-fired plant was cancelled by its developers – Japan’s Marubeni Corporation and the Korea Electric Power Corporation – in December 2020 as it faced fierce opposition from environmental justice groups and struggled to bring funders on board. Its environmental authorisation was also set aside by the High Court. Pressure from environmental groups led SA’s largest banks, Standard Bank, FirstRand, Nedbank and Absa, to agree to withdraw from funding both Khanyisa and Thabametsi. The two projects were the preferred bidders in SA’s first bid window for the Coal Baseload Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme under a 2012 ministerial determination that called for 2 500MW of baseload coal. Despite the hurdles these projects encountered, Mineral Resources & Energy Minister Gwede Mantashe has promised to release a tender for 1 500MW of new coal in 2021 as is provided for in the Integrated Resource Plan 2019, SA’s electricity infrastructure road map. Mantashe said it would be up to the market to decide if there is an appetite for such projects.

This week’s ruling comes as a result of a legal challenge launched by environmental justice group groundWork, represented by the CER, in 2017 that sought to set aside the environmental approval for the plant on the basis that the developers, Saudi company ACWA Power, failed adequately to assess the project’s climate change impacts, and that the Environment Minister, the late Edna Molewa, failed to consider climate change impacts before approving the project. Khanyisa has faced numerous other challenges, notes the report.
