The power utility said it considers whistleblowing an important aspect of rooting out corruption.
Eskom has described claims that it has launched an investigation to expose whistleblowers as “serious, concerning, and malicious”.those who revealed information about the alleged R500 million security contract awarded to Fidelity Services Group.
The power utility said it has various channels to report corruption or fraudulent activities, including the enlisted service of Whistle Blowers Ltd — an “independent whistleblowing company”. “The identity of the anonymous whistleblowers is not known, not even the official with whom the complaint is raised, rendering the use of the service a form of protection to whistleblowers,” said Eskom.
It also specified that the audit firm would “perform any other investigative activity deemed necessary to establish the facts” and provide post-investigation support.
