Edwin Sodi will be blacklisted from doing business with the Tshwane government.Only 60% was completed, but the work was so poor it had to be terminated.

Blackhead was part of a joint venture, along with two other companies - CMS and NJR - who were awarded a tender in October 2019 to upgrade the Rooiwal treatment plant. "The City intends to invoke the provisions of the Preferential Procurement Regulations as stated in Circular 43 of the National Treasury. Effectively, this means that the joint venture CMS, NJR & Blackhead, as well as its shareholders and directors, will be listed by the National Treasury as restricted suppliers. This will result in these individuals being restricted from doing or obtaining any business with the state for a period of five years.
