ActionSA 'very happy' to see SIU probing Rooiwal wastewater treatment project

JOHANNESBURG - ActionSA said the proclamation signed by President Cyril Ramaphosa on the Rooiwal wastewater treatment project was a victory for the people of Hammanskraal.

The president signed the proclamation authorising the Special Investigating Unit to probe allegations of maladministration and corruption in the Tshwane metro.• Hammanskraal water crisis: Ramaphosa points finger at City of Tshwane• Tshwane to invest R450m for refurbishing of Rooiwal wastewater treatment plant• Govt turns to DBSA to oversee procurement process for Rooiwal upgrades

Among the companies awarded the tender was Blackhead Consulting, owned by controversial businessman, Edwin Sodi. Sodi is also currently facing counts of fraud, corruption, theft and money laundering for a R255 million Free State asbestos tender. The refurbishment of the Rooiwal waterplant was meant to ensure that parts of Tshwane around Hammanskraal had clean drinking water but the project was botched, recently leaving at least 15 people dead from a cholera outbreak in May."You will remember that ActionSA handed over a report emanating from the commission of inquiry into the Hammanskraal water crisis last year in July and we are very happy to see that the SIU has followed up on that.
