Edwin Sodi ‘hit list’: Minnie to be roasted over ‘link’ to businessman?
Edwin Sodi’s Alleged Affiliations: Minnie Dlamini and Beyond
As April approaches, anticipation builds for Minnie Dlamini’s forthcoming television roast on Showmax, where nothing is off-limits, not even her purported association with controversial businessman Edwin Sodi.
Sodi, an ANC-affiliated figure often dubbed a “tenderpreneur,” has long been associated with both contentious business dealings and a purported “hit list” of glamorous women.
Renowned for hosting lavish events, including his opulent 50th birthday bash at his R85 million Bryanston mansion last year, Sodi’s name has frequently cropped up in the realm of scandal, particularly concerning a R250 million tender probe linked to President Cyril Ramaphosa.
More recently, he faced scrutiny over a staggering R400 million tax liability, amidst prior arrests on charges encompassing corruption, fraud, and money laundering.
The nexus between Minnie Dlamini and Edwin Sodi emerged shortly after Dlamini’s announcement of her split from Quinton Jones, her now ex-husband. Fueling speculation were images circulating of Dlamini purportedly utilizing Sodi’s private jet for a luxurious getaway.
Celebrity blogger Musa Khawula even suggested Sodi’s involvement as a catalyst for Dlamini and Jones’s separation, an assertion swiftly rebuked by Sodi himself, who vehemently denied any romantic entanglement with Dlamini.
Taking to social media, Dlamini herself refuted the “false, damaging, and malicious” claims, further shrouding the purported connection in controversy.
Beyond Dlamini, Sodi’s alleged romantic dalliances extend to a constellation of South African female celebrities, according to social media buzz. Among those purportedly linked to Sodi are luminaries such as Thuli Phongola, Mihlali Ndamase, Kefilwe Mabote, Lizelle Tabane, and Kat Ncala, alongside others.
Moreover, past rumors, propagated by celebrity gossip circles, suggest Sodi’s penchant for “snatching” women from their partners, with notable instances including Minnie Dlamini’s separation from Quinton Jones and allegations involving Onalerona Thekiso, DJ Sbu’s ex-wife Disebo Makatsa, and Matsatsi Rampa, who reportedly bore Sodi’s child while involved with rapper Jub Jub.
Reports even speculate on Sodi’s familial connections, with mentions of offspring shared with various mothers, including one allegedly belonging to a prominent radio DJ.
Amidst swirling conjecture, Sodi’s romantic liaison with Karen Zulu garnered attention, with reports hinting at matrimonial aspirations from the businessman’s side. Yet, amidst the glitz and glamor, the shadow of controversy looms large over Sodi, underscoring a narrative marked by intrigue and speculation.
