Charges of assault and pointing of a firearm have been opened up against ANC benefactor and businessman Edwin Sodi after he allegedly attacked his estranged wife, Nthateng Lerata, and her friend.
The award allegedly led to financial kickbacks to Free State political figures including suspended ANC secretary-general Ace Magashule. At the time, Magashule was the Free State premier.A source with knowledge of the investigation said Sodi allegedly entered the house carrying a handgun and confronted Lerata and a man who was with her.
“Information at our disposal indicates that he allegedly pistol-whipped Nthateng’s friend. He apparently tried to fire the gun again but it misfired. Sodi then fled the house,” said the source.The source said on Friday night police tried to arrest Sodi at his other home in Redhill Road, Sandton. “There were quite a few cops here. They were there to arrest him. When the police arrived Mr Sodi’s bodyguards were inside the property. He was definitely here because he never goes anywhere without them.
He said shortly after the police left two vehicles, including a Mercedes-Benz Vito, arrived with several women inside.
