Businessman Edwin Sodi has been named in a report of an independent commission of inquiry into a 16-year-old contaminated water crisis in Hammanskraal‚ Tshwane.
“Incontrovertible corruption and nepotism are the hallmark of local government in the democratic dispensation since 1994‚” reads the report of the inquiry‚ which was chaired by Prof Jonas Letsoalo.
“From the [April 2021 Tshwane] state of the city address it can also be gathered that for 'years a big issue has always been the lack of funding'. However‚ nothing has been said about the apparent disappearance of the R295m allocated for upgrades to the plant. The commission of inquiry found that the City of Tshwane had failed the community of Hammanskraal in ways that could be described as “dismal‚ delinquent and hopeless”.
The city had also‚ since 2005‚ not been forthcoming to the community about the nature of the problems at the plant and what is hampering the resolution of the water crisis; proposed solutions to the crisis; and how long it will take to resolve the water crisis.
