I have not been able to find if the tender process has re-commenced yet, but it's good to see the ANC has chimed in telling the Council not to appeal it.

The ANC regional executive committee (REC) in the Sarah Baartman District has advised the Ndlambe municipal council not to appeal the High Court judgment that found the awarding of a desalination tender unlawful.
The councillors said the case was opened in terms of Section 171 of the Municipal Finance Management Act (MFMA), which made certain acts and omissions a criminal offence.The joint statement said: “The judgment further fingered Dumezweni as the key official responsible for amending and awarding the tender.“It also highlighted the irregular (and frankly illegal) prepayment or R20m to QFS before a contract had been signed.“Only Dumezweni would have been in a position to authorise this.”Venene and Daweti said they would submit a motion to council calling for Dumezweni’s immediate suspension and a full investigation
