Disciplinary hearings against Tshwane officials implicated in irregular Rooiwal tender concluded

The disciplinary processes against senior City of Tshwane employees accused of flouting processes to award the Rooiwal wastewater treatment plant tender to companies linked to controversial businessman Edwin Sodi have been concluded.

On Wednesday, during a site visit at the Rooiwal and Klipdrift wastewater treatment works, the mayor of Tshwane, Cilliers Brink, said the city was awaiting the outcome of the hearings, which would be announced in the "next couple of days".

In 2019, Sodi's company, Blackhead Consulting, was part of a joint venture with two other companies - CMS and NJR - who were awarded a R290-million tender to upgrade Rooiwal.
