SC rules several clauses of Economic Transformation Bill are unconstitutional

The Supreme Court has determined that several clauses of the Economic Transformation Bill are inconsistent with the country’s Constitution. 

Consequently, these clauses require a special majority in parliament and, in some cases, approval by a referendum to be passed. 

However, if the contentious clauses are amended, they can be passed with a simple majority, the Speaker of Parliament announced today while delivering Supreme Court determination on the bill.
