City of Tshwane councillors yesterday finally adopted a forensic report established to probe tender irregularities that cost the city nearly R300m, a move that allows for the city to lay criminal charges and internal disciplinary charges against officials involved in the awarding of the tender which went to known ANC benefactor Edwin Sodi’s company.
Political parties in the City of Tshwane want the findings of the Rooiwal forensic report implemented to ensure accountability for those behind irregular expenditure of R292m in the wastewater treatment plant upgrades.
At least five City of Tshwane senior officials should face criminal charges for their part in allowing irregular tender procedures that cost the Tshwane ratepayers nearly R292m after a forensic report looking into a Rooiwal wastewater treatment plant found they had flouted procurement rules.
