The project was meant to supply 55 villages in and around Giyani with water, but was incomplete after the water department failed to make payments to contractors.
During the raid, Legodi was not in the office after he called in sick. He confirmed he was hospitalised, but refused to comment further on the raid.
Among the allegations were that Tshivhase had received a luxury car from Thulani Majola, the owner of LTE Consulting Engineers, which was awarded a R100m emergency tender to fix the water problems in Giyani. The contract has since ballooned to R3bn in costs. Chairperson Machwene Semenya said the people of Giyani are without water despite massive investments in the project.
Semenya added the death of a boy in a trench dug by a contractor earlier this year was a testament to the gross disregard for human life that the delay has caused.
