Facts of the Case

On 03 December 2001, Tasima (Pty) Ltd (the first respondent) and the Government of the Republic of South Africa, acting through the Department of Transport, entered into a Turnkey agreement (which was subsequently amended and extended) for the provision of the eNaTIS system. This system was designed to realise the requirements provided for in the National Road Traffic Act 43 of 1996, namely to record, administer and maintain a vast range of road traffic-related information. The Road Traffic Management Corporation (RTMC) was the first appellant in consolidated appeals, with Makhosini Msibi as second appellant in JA134/2017. The employees listed in Annex "A" to the notice of motion were the fifth respondent. The matter involved disputes arising from this contractual arrangement and its implementation.
