Public Interest Key to Disputed P662m Tender

Justice Lesetedi, a Court of Appeal judge, emphasized that in public procurement cases, the public interest should be the primary concern, rather than the outcome for individual parties.

The interest of the public must be the foremost concern and the outcome of the case should not focus on who wins, but rather on ensuring that public funds are used transparently and for the benefit of the people.

He stressed that the court's role is to ensure that public resources are utilized in a manner that benefits citizens and adheres to the law, in a case involving a disputed P662 million education e-learning tender.

The case has garnered national attention due to concerns over the tender's awarding process.
