Multiple reports describe alleged issues in how South African National Roads Agency SOC (Sanral) handles procurement, focusing on compliance with the Public Finance Management Act (PFMA). The articles state that Sanral appears to have breached PFMA requirements by failing to advise National Treasury within the required timeframes regarding certain contract awards. They specifically refer to awards that deviate from normal bidding processes, suggesting that the oversight and reporting obligations tied to these exceptions were not met. The sources do not provide additional technical details on which specific contracts are involved, nor do they include findings from a tribunal, audit, or court ruling in the excerpts provided. The reporting is presented as a review or exposure of procurement practices, highlighting the alleged procedural lapse against statutory reporting timelines. Both outlets frame the issue as a compliance concern involving internal procurement governance and the timely communication of exceptional contracting decisions to National Treasury.
