The long process of reconsidering the aberrant Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act (MPRDA) Amendment Bill has reportedly generated so many additional procedural missteps that turfing it into the bin is only one good thing left to do with it. According to Herbert Smith Freehills Africa co-chair and partner Peter Leon, even its five years of moving this way and that way along the corridors of Parliamentary power have failed to take away any of the Bill’s substantive problems. All that will pass Constitutional muster now, he believes, is its complete withdrawal and should the legislature and the executive fail to do so, he is quite confident that the third branch of State, the judiciary, will do the necessary.
