The City of Tshwane has welcomed the opening of an SIU investigation into the multi-million rand Rooiwal Waste Water project, after the death of 15 people in a cholera outbreak this year.
The Special Investigating Unit’s investigation will cover allegations of unlawful and improper conduct that took place between January 2018 and 22 September 2023.
President Cyril Ramaphosa signed the proclamation authorising the Special Investigating Unit (SIU) to probe allegations of maladministration and corruption in the Tshwane metro.
The botched project failed when the City of Tshwane gave a tender of more than R250 million to questionable companies, delaying the project of fixing the treatment plant in 2018.
