Former Eskom administration clerk Nwabisa Ngxola was sentenced to an effective 10 years in jail on Wednesday for defrauding the power utility of R2.6 million.
Ngxola and her co-accused, former Eskom clerk Cinderella Moropane, colluded with businessman Michael Chimanzi, the director of Chimanzi Investments, who submitted fraudulent invoices to Eskom for work that was never done, according to the Hawks. The Mbombela Specialized Commercial Crime Court sentenced Ngxola to 10 years for sixteen counts of fraud, seven years for 39 counts of money laundering, and seven years for 48 counts of money laundering. The sentences will run concurrently, meaning she will be jailed for 10 years.
The Hawks said the case against Moropane was postponed to 17 May because she was in hospital due to illness. Chimanzi was found guilty and sentenced when he appeared in the Nelspruit Specialised Commercial Crime Court on 1 March. He had already served four years in prison since his arrest in 2018. He was sentenced to eight years, suspended for five years, on the condition that he not be found guilty of similar offences during that period.
