Border fence contractors lose appeal to retain profits
The Special Investigating Unit (SIU) has welcomed the judgment of the Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA), which dismissed a special leave-to-appeal application brought by Caledon River Properties Pty Ltd and Profteam CC. These companies sought to challenge a decision of the High Court (HC) and the Special Tribunal that stripped them of the profits earned from the construction of a mesh border fence between South Africa and Zimbabwe during the Covid-19 pandemic.
