IRREGULAR TENDER TYCOON EDWIN SODI SLAMMED ONLINE
The Hammanskraal cholera outbreak, which tragically resulted in the loss of 17 lives, has provoked widespread outrage among social media users.
They have directed their anger towards Edwin Sodi, a prominent figure in the realm of tender contracts, who was entrusted with the responsibility of renovating and enhancing the Rooiwal Wastewater Treatment Plant.
The controversy surrounding this issue stems from the fact that a R295 million tender was awarded to three companies, all of which are allegedly affiliated with Sodi, as claimed by Action SA.
According to the report, none of the companies involved in the project had any prior experience in undertaking such a venture. This finding adds a significant layer of concern and raises questions about the qualifications and capabilities of the companies awarded the tender.
The report further deepens the controversy surrounding the project and intensifies the scrutiny surrounding the involvement of these inexperienced entities.
“The contractor [for the Rooiwal Waste Water Treatment] was grossly lacking in the competence to conduct a contract of this magnitude…” ActionSA Tshwane caucus leader Thabang Sebotsane told Newzroom Afrika anchor Xoli Mngambi.
Sodi is now being accused of having participated in an “irregular and illegal tender process” by the political party.
