It follows last week’s arrest of a contractor, working at Camden Power Station in Mpumalanga, after being positively linked to an incident of sabotage.
In a statement the power utility said, the contractor admitted to intentionally removing the oil drain plug causing oil burners to trip repeatedly. Rocks, instead of coal, were also recently delivered to Majuba Power Station. De Ruyter says mysterious failures have been reported as the country continues to endure rolling blackouts.
“The issue is quite pervasive and very serious. We had an incident where an unknown person tried to cut through a conveyor belt, which feeds coal into the boilers, which would have led to significant disruption. We do have mysterious failures, oil leakages, equipment knocked out. So, this is a serious problem and it is quite wide-ranging.”“We are excited about the arrests. The arrests have been ongoing; other matters are in the prosecutorial space.
Meanwhile, Eskom Chairperson Mpho Makwana last week said there is a task team that was appointed by the Board, expected to deliver a comprehensive report on the challenges and proposals on what needs to be done as part of interventions that will address the electricity crisis.Report on Eskom expected:
Treason and terrorism. Lock them up and throw away the keys.
The end is nigh. Everyone can loot, and nothing is done. In fact, when something is done. Then, the looters just increase their severity with sabotage
If I were him I'd resign. This torment is just not worth it, nor is it healthy having to wear a bullet-proof vest.
These people, if caught should be charged with treason and terrorism
It comes as no surprise. That’s how this country has become. Sabotage those in higher echelon and let the citizens blame them 😩😩
Werklik? I believe if you hire security it would cost less than fixing sabotage. So please stop with your sad sob stories. You got your finger in the pie
They must be exposed the bastards. We need ESKOM employees to come forward for the good of the country
What do you expect when the governing party members is fighting among themselves for positions
