We have prepared this policy brief as our submission as the Law Trust Chair in Social Justice at Stellenbosch University in collaboration with participants who attended a roundtable we convened as a Social Justice Think Tank on 04 April 2022, to review and respond to draft Treasury Regulations on Preferential Procurement. The draft regulations were issued for public consultation on 10 March by the Treasury with an invitation for public submissions by 11 April 2022. We thank the Treasury for the reasonable amount of time given to the public to engage with the draft regulations. We believe this is resonant with the true spirit of democratic governance as envisaged in the Constitution and affirmed by the Constitutional Court in various cases that have emphasised that meaningful engagement on matters that will impact people is a constitutional imperative.
