From bribes to inflated prices, this is how the state says 7 people broke the law in Free State asbestos caseBusinessman Edwin Sodi and two companies involved in the “masterminding” of an allegedly corrupt R255m asbestos audit project in the Free State were paid R51m before they had even started the work. Paid by who, how much did that person get as his/her cut? Who approved it and on what basis? All these people should have been arrested a long time ago including the auditors who audited or rather should have audited such report. CORRUPTION is a system which is very deep in SA. this is going to take some doing to get themselves out of this rabbit hole. yikes!
