Tshwane officials still can't blacklist Edwin Sodi despite his links to a cholera-causing wastewater failure.
Nearly three years after deciding to blacklist tenderpreneur Edwin Sodi and his firms, Tshwane officials have failed to deliver the notice due to unverifiable addresses, despite contacting him via WhatsApp.
The city’s attempts through mail and police failed, and the National Treasury previously rejected the blacklist request over procedural flaws.
Sodi, a self-declared ANC ally linked to high-profile politicians, continues to operate his businesses and has secured hundreds of millions in government contracts, including for a failed wastewater project tied to a 2023 cholera outbreak.
Critics accuse the city’s ANC- and ActionSA-led administration of obstructing the process, raising concerns about accountability in public procurement.
Los funcionarios de Tshwane todavía no pueden poner en la lista negra a Edwin Sodi a pesar de sus vínculos con una falla de aguas residuales que causa cólera.
