SERIES: DEADLY WATER

Do we know the real story behind the collapse of the R291-million Rooiwal wastewater treatment plant project? Was the infamous tenderpreneur Edwin Sodi conned by his now-deceased business partner, as he has always claimed? Opinions remain divided on CMS Water boss Rudolf Schoeman Jnr – some see him as a maverick, others “the biggest bullshitter” they’d ever met. AmaBhungane went digging and found a trail of destruction across four provinces and a billion rand’s worth of critical infrastructure projects incomplete. Deadly Water is amaBhungane’s first podcast, told by the journalists who did the digging.
