The two tenders include the R255 million asbestos contract in the Free State and the R295 Rooiwal Wastewater Treatment Works.

The two controversial tenders are before the courts. However, the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) revealed that Sodi’s property worth over R300 million would only be forfeited to the state if Edwin Sodi is found guilty.
