City of Tshwane submits to the National Treasury Rooiwal blacklisting application to restrict Edwin Sodi and associates from conducting business with the government.
The Tshwane Municipality announced has officially submitted an application to the National Treasury to blacklist businessman Edwin Sodi and his affiliated businesses to be barred from receiving any government contracts.
ActionSA welcomes the City of Tshwane’s formal submission. This comes after the Democratic Alliance (DA) formally instructed their legal team to appoint a professional tracing agent to locate Edwin Sodi and to submit his details directly to the City of Tshwane and National Treasury.
In 2019, reports indicated that a consortium led by Sodi was awarded a R250 million contract to upgrade the Rooiwal Wastewater Treatment Plant. However, the municipality cancelled the contract after the consortium abandoned the site with much of the work still incomplete.
ActionSA said that should the submission be approved by National Treasury, it would mean that Edwin Sodi’s “feeding troughs are finally cut off and that he is barred from doing business with the state. The City’s move to restrict Sodi from doing business with Tshwane must be celebrated, following the long road that ActionSA has travelled to achieve this outcome. Under previous governments, led by the DA, ActionSA brought motions to compel forensic investigations, which ultimately led to the matter being investigated by the SIU and to the initiation of the blacklisting process,” ActionSA said.
Executive Mayor of the City of Tshwane, Dr Nasiphi Moya, has submitted a blacklisting application to the National Treasury.
In a statement, the municipality said the delay in submitting its blacklisting application was to ensure the process was handled correctly.
“City of Tshwane submits to National Treasury Rooiwal blacklisting application to restrict Edwin Sodi and associates from conducting business with the government,” said Moya.
”The people of Hammanskraal deserve justice for the suffering and costs they endured as a result of the maladministration and corruption of Sodi’s companies,” ActionSA continued.
“Under Mayor Nasiphi Moya’s administration, water is finally being rolled out to the people who were made collateral damage in the shady dealings of the politically connected. Historical debt for sub-standard water has also been written off. ActionSA believes that this blacklisting will finally be approved, ensuring that the wolves are kept out for good.”
