It is alleged that the suspect awarded an order for the supply of bowl pumps to an unknown supplier and facilitated a down payment of R14.7 million upfront without the goods being delivered.

"Eskom had to place an urgent order for the material with another company, suffering financial loss as a consequence," the company said. An internal investigation found that the supplier in question - which is no longer operational - had no track record in dealing with Eskom, nor had it any previous orders.

"Several misrepresentations and irregularities that appear to indicate that the employee’s [alleged] involvement amounted to fraud and corruption were uncovered." Eskom registered a criminal case following the investigation three years ago.The arrest of the [suspect] is an encouraging step in our persistent efforts in the fight against fraud and corruption.

The former employee has been remanded in custody for a bail application on Wednesday and may not be named prior to this court appearance. In times of uncertainty you need journalism you can trust.
