In a statement, the power utility said: “A review of the circumstances leading to the tender being awarded to the company revealed serious irregularities in the process, including inflated prices charged to Eskom when lower-priced alternatives were evident.” The five-year contract was signed in 2019 but Eskom said it had since instigated legal proceedings to terminate the contract.“Where applicable, disciplinary processes will be pursued and criminal charges will be laid,” the parastatal said.
