Odyssey currently tracks 42 public-record rows. The latest C2 sweep added three newer direct-primary SIU matters, while some legacy rows still cite documented secondary reporting or generic agency landing pages. Row-level primary-source and status reconciliation remains incomplete.
Evidence status is dataset-family level. Row-level and field-level source labels still control where they are more specific.
PRASA Locomotive Overhaul Overcharging is tracked with a matter-specific row value of R2.6 billion in Gauteng. Case-stage and asset-status semantics remain pending legacy reconciliation. Odyssey does not infer that the row value equals the amount frozen, forfeited, recovered or lost unless the cited record says so. The cited matter relates to the PRASA — Department of Transport. The cited source names or links 2 people or entities to the matter, including Multiple unnamed contractor companies, PRASA SCM officials under investigation; inclusion here does not independently establish guilt or a final adverse finding.
PRASA froze payments to several contractors in March 2026 after a forensic review uncovered significant overcharging in the R2.6 billion General Overhaul Programme of old locomotives. The Webber Wentzel forensic report identified multiple contractors inflating costs across 7 refurbishment contracts. PRASA is pursuing civil recovery and referring evidence for criminal prosecution.
Naming/linkage in the cited record does not independently establish guilt or a final adverse finding.

Entries summarise cited public records, which can include preservation or forfeiture orders, charges, investigations, judgments and settlements. Statuses are source-bounded; inclusion does not by itself establish criminal guilt or a final finding against a named person or entity.
Tracked row value reflects the value referenced in the cited record. The headline is the arithmetic sum of each tracked row’s matter-specific value. Rows can refer to preserved or forfeited assets, alleged scheme or contract values, repayments, restrained funds or other source-defined amounts. It is not a national corruption total, a recovered-assets total, or a de-duplicated measure of public loss.
Some legacy rows still cite documented secondary sources or generic agency pages rather than a direct case-level primary source. Updated manually — may not reflect the latest case developments.
