In the matter between:    

THANDISILE BUSINESS SERVICES (PTY) LTD                             Applicant

 

And

 

THE DEPARTMENT OF HOME AFFAIRS                            First Respondent

 

LIVHUWANI TOMMY MAKHODE N.O.                            Second Respondent

JUDGMENT/ ORDER

HAVING READ THE DOCUMENTS FILED OF RECORD AND HAVING HEARD THE RESPECTIVE COUNSEL FOR THE PARTIES; THE COURT FOUND THAT:

 

[1]             The Applicant had opportunities to explain to the First Respondent why it was not possible for it to attach the specific documentation required in the published invitation to bid. This the Applicant could have done soon after the publication and when it submitted its bid or, at the latest, at the subsequent briefing session which the Applicant did not attend “as it was not compulsory”, opting instead to wait until the process is completed and the tender awarded, to then seek a review of the proceedings. Urgency was, in my view, self-created on these facts.

 

ORDER

           

1.          The matter is struck from the roll for lack of urgency.

2.          No order is made as to costs.
