Koko and his co-accused face charges of fraud, corruption and money laundering, among others, some of which could see them spending a long time behind bars.
That’s how long former acting chief executive of Eskom, Matshela Koko, could spend behind bars if convicted on the graft charges he's now facing.
Also arrested were former SA Local Government Association chief executive Thabo Mokwena; Eskom’s project director at Kusile, Frans Sithole; lawyer Johannes Coetzee and businessman Watson Seswai. Following a marathon court sitting, which stretched into the night, the accused were all ultimately granted bail.
