Stephen has a broad range of experience in the banking and finance arena, including general banking advice to major international and local clients in relation to general acquisition finance and asset-based finance transactions. His other areas of expertise include aviation finance and general commercial aviation transactions.

“We recognise that the level of complexity in banking and finance in South Africa and across Africa is on the rise.

He spent a year on secondment in London from July 2006 to July 2007 where he was employed in the corporate and capital markets department of Clifford Chance.

“We continue to make key appointments as we strengthen our core advisory capacity across our practice areas. We welcome Stephen on board and wish him well in future endeavours in what is a key sector for us,” adds Wilken.

The soon to be ‘new’ preferential procurement framework

In addition to regulating public procurement generally, the long title to the Procurement Bill states that the Bill is meant to prescribe a framework within which preferential procurement must be implemented. Of course, this must be so, because the Constitution requires national legislation be enacted to provide for such a framework. It is important to note, however, that in as much as national legislation must prescribe a framework, the prerogative power to create and implement a preferential procurement policy within that framework remains with the individual organs of state and institutions. This was confirmed by the Constitutional Court, and is something that cannot be taken away from procuring entities by the Procurement Bill.
