The CEO of Blackhead Consulting Edwin Sodi’s mansion is for sale at R75 million.
It has been reported by Sunday World that the majority of properties owned by the businessman were recently sold at an auction. These assets included several cars, houses, and his commercial enterprise.
Property24 – an online platform for real estate listings and property information – disclosed that this particular residential spans about 4,000 square metres in floor area.
Furthermore, the house’s internal arrangement and spatial layout include five distinct bedrooms and five private bathrooms.
As reported by Sunday World, the businessman was allegedly involved in a corruption scandal involving the Rooiwal Wastewater Treatment Works and another Free State project.
Both tenders were probed for bribery allegations where Edwin, along with former Secretary-General of the ANC, Ace Magashule, were accused of money laundering and unethical behaviour with the Free State project.

An X user commented:
“Listen, I put these things on auction, then you buy them. Will get them later. The court must be under the impression that I have nothing. Am suffering” Edwin Sodi is Super smart chief. This thing is calculated. This guy is up there.

Another X user commented:
Looks like Edwin Sodi is taking “liquidating assets” to a whole new level! Selling off his mega mansion for a cool R75 million?
Must be trying to fund his own private island or something.
Well, at least he’ll have a nice view of the courtroom from his new place while he’s on…

Another X user joked that they would buy the mansion for R7500 and not R75 million.
I’m willing to buy the mansion for R7500. Take it or leave it. pic.twitter.com/doIJxgm1KX
