The seven accused appeared at the Bloemfontein Magistrate’s Court on Friday after they were arrested by the Hawks in KZN, Gauteng and the Free State this week.
The AFU contends that the Free State DHS had to then follow a competitive procurement process, but this was not done. The Ori Group was only paid an amount of R6.3 million by Mastertrade and they never completed the work, the AFU said. “There was a duty by Mlamleli to act and stop the irregular procurement and if she did so the DHS would not have suffered a further loss of R139m and Mlamleli clearly ignored the AG’s report and further identified herself with the criminal activity that was being perpetuated through a fraudulent scheme by department officials and Sodi, Blackhead Consulting, Diamond Hill and others,” the AFU said.
Sodi is the sole director of Base Property Holdings Ltd, which holds mortgage bonds valued at R40.5 million. Base Property Holdings also holds 10 title deeds in Bryanston, Johannesburg. Blackhead Consulting’s books showed an operating profit of R15.5m, with R71m equity, turnover had increased from R197m to R292m and Sodi had savings of over R25m in his ABSA bank accounts.

Zweli Mkhize denies receiving donations of R6.5m from Edwin SodiHe said when he took over as treasurer-general, Sodi’s 'contacts were available in the ANC donors’ database as one of the people who had previously donated to the ANC'. Let him step aside, face the useless intergrity committee and explain himself there. And ? Dr Mkhize may not have benefited directly, but he was involved in bribes paid to the ANC, bribes which funded their re-election campaigns. All cadres benefit from Corruptheid.
