The City of Tshwane submitted an application to the National Treasury on Thursday seeking the restriction and blacklisting of the companies involved in the Rooiwal Wastewater Treatment Plant Joint Venture and their directors, including controversial tenderpreneur Edwin Sodi.
Pending the Treasurys consideration of the application, the city said it had exercised its own powers to restrict Sodi and his associated companies from doing business with the city.
Tshwane mayor Dr Nasiphi Moya said in a statement the submission came after the completion of the citys internal governance and verification processes, which were strengthened to ensure the application was procedurally sound, factually substantiated and capable of withstanding scrutiny.
