● Tshwane now forced to raise R2.5bn needed to complete the job while spending millions on tankers supplying water.
Controversial Blackhead Consulting owner Edwin Sodi is allegedly linked to the Hammanskraal Water Crisis & The Free State asbestos Project. Sodi is allegedly well known for paying bribes in order to get government projects.
Edwin Sodi was fingered in a missing R295m which was meant to upgrade the Rooiwal Waste Water Treatment plant. For years Rooiwal plant lacked capacity to purify water, resulting in wastes discharged into Apies River, the source of dirty water consumed by people in Hammanskraal.
And honestly even Tshwane past and current government need to be blamed for this. Because there were warnings but no action. Last year City of Tshwane reported that the project was progressing well, even though it was long abandoned Someone who was a responded to rooiwal site in 2012 to 2014, Said another cholera outbreak might come from the Free State soon.
They visited Harmony mine in Welkom recently, They said the town smells while coming from the main road became of sewage works which have not been operational for years. Sewage just enters the systems and leaves to rivers and dams without treatment.
