Eskom employees arrested after spending R940,000 on a container valued at R20,000
A former Eskom short-term contract employee stationed at Tutuka Power Station was arrested on 10 May 2023 for fraud and corruption.
The accused allegedly colluded with two Eskom employees and a supplier in purchasing a shipping container at an inflated price of R939,550. The container was delivered on site, however, it did not meet the specifications and was only valued at R20,000.
The arrest follows a string of successful operations where Eskom workers, contractors and suppliers have been nailed for defrauding the power utility.
