Tshwane to finalise blacklisting of Edwin Sodi after R295-m tender scandal

# The City of Tshwane says it will resubmit its blacklisting application against businessman Edwin Sodi to National Treasury by 19 September. This comes three years after cancelling his 295-million-rand Rooiwal Wastewater Plant contract. It was linked to Hammanskraal’s water crisis and the 2023 cholera outbreak. According to the Daily Maverick, the City cites poor performance, procurement irregularities and Auditor-General findings. Spokesperson Lindela Mashigo says the process has taken time but is now legally watertight, with an independent review committee verifying compliance.
