The National Prosecuting Authority's Asset Forfeiture Unit has secured a R583.8 million restraint order against two former South African employees of Swiss engineering group ABB, as well as their wives, and two Eskom subcontractors. Ex-ABB employees Mohammed Mooidheen and Vernon Pillay, their wives Raeesa Mooidheen and Aradhna Pillay, and Eskom subcontractors Impulse International and Indiwize Construction are facing charges of corruption, money laundering, fraud and forgery.
The NPA has accused ABB SA, the local subsidiary of the Zurich-headquartered multinational, of conspiring with Impulse to fix inflated contract prices for work at the troubled Kusile power station in 2016 and 2017. According to the prosecution authority, Mooidheen and Pillay also entered into a"scheme" with former acting Eskom chief executive officer Matshela Koko, whereby his stepdaughter Koketso Choma was appointed a shareholder of Impulse. The NPA said Mooidheen and Pillay abused their"senior positions" at ABB SA to favour Impulse as a subcontractor.
"Pillay and Mooidheen both played a role in the extraordinary approval decisions and the manipulation of procurement and governance processes to the advantage of Impulse, Impulse’s appointment, and the payment of excessive rates," it said.
