Govan Mbeki Municipality v New Integrated Credit Solutions (Pty) Ltd (121/2020) [2021] ZASCA 34 (7 April 2021)

Procurement by municipality of debt management services – quintessentially a constitutional issue – factors to be applied in considering delay in self-review by public authority – contract invalid for want of compliance with applicable regulations and constitutional imperatives – s 172(1)(b) applied – just and equitable remedy to avoid denying accrued rights – part of contract not set aside – concern about frequency of late self-review applications where contract periods have run their course and no sanctions for aberrant officials.
