According to Eskom spokesperson Sikonathi Mantshantsha, the guards were arrested while on duty. The stolen diesel is valued at just under R146 000.
"Through internal investigations, it was established that the ... security guards permitted a vehicle to collect the stolen diesel from the site during the night shifts, and for which they were paid in return," Mantshantsha said. The internal investigations were supported by the Bidvest Protea Coin Investigation Team and the SA Police Service, who arrested the two security guards a few days after Eskom laid criminal charges for the theft of diesel. The two suspects will appear in the East London Magistrate's Court on Wednesday.
Karen Pillay, general manager for security at Eskom, said it was"appalling that the individuals entrusted with the responsibilities of safeguarding our infrastructure resort to such acts of malfeasance". She described the arrests as"another significant step in our fight against crime in Eskom". According to Eskom, investigations are ongoing to identify other suspects, and the outcome thereof will determine further actions to be taken against the contracted security company.

_Business Its never ending!!
_Business Lock up those cretins and throw away the key. But first add most of the anc members in there too. We wouldn't need blackfriday because we'd save shitloads of money by not sponsoring their lazy asses.
_Business How is it now that people connected to ESKOM is all of a sudden being jailed for bad behaviour. Why was this action not done earlier while we were in the dark 😡😡😡😡😡
_Business They worked alone, I assume. 2 litre Coke bottle every day when they went home...
_Business Why is the name of the security company being withheld?
_Business mxm
_Business Yup. Of course they did. It's Wednesday after all. So why not.
_Business treason!!!! maximum penalty for these guys!
_Business Well done security guards you qualify to join our parlim...
_Business These are the people Mantashe doesn't want exposed.
_Business Some random boeremag supremacists blew up a couple of metres of railway line-they were charged with treason… these people have destroyed all rail infrastructure and crippled national power grid and they’re labelled “vandals”. Vandals tag paint walls and break school windows 🙄
_Business I hope they are charged with Sabotage/Terrorism. Surely if our power stations are key point installations, any disruptions/destruction/sabotage of all related infrastructure and activities is an act of domestic terrorism - an act to destabilise the nation with coup d’état in mind
_Business Where is the video of them getting arrested
_Business This is the sabotage of state infrastructure with political motives. Literally the definition of a domestic terrorist. Hang them!
_Business They should get a harsh sentence
_Business And GwedeMantashe1 says Deruyter should stop playing policeman. WTF? Now someone needs to guard those who is guarding the diesel.
_Business De Ruyter is closing in on Gwede’s taps!!! That’s why he wants him out…
_Business Wow just wow and the ANC complained that de ruyter is being a policemen

_Business Eskom is a crime scene, from the CEO to the security/cleaners.
HustlingMann _Business I remember President Ramaphosa being insulted that day he reported that Sabotage is rife at Eskom! Here we are
KatMichellie _Business Gwede thinks is nothing.
_Business It appears Gwede Mantashe is not comfortable with Eskom CEO going after criminals stealing from the SOE. Can't imagine why. I'd have thought he'd support the CEO in that endeavour. What am I missing.
_Business Anc stealing from Eskom is customary. An Eskom employee could plan a holiday, paying lobola,throwing a party etc. with money he has not yet stolen from Eskom. Eskom is a cash cow for Anc cadres.
VernonNaidoo242 _Business Gwede wants de Ruyter to ignore this sabotage.
_Business This country has been turned into a looting sh!thole
_Business Next week we will read 'case has been withdrawn.'
_Business Question to be answered unmincingly is: ActionSA President Herman Mashaba questioned how it could be expected for ordinary South Africans to observe the Rule of Law while we have a president who, himself, is facing probes over his allegedly unlawful conduct. - IOL NEWS CHANNEL.

_Business Can’t believe people still fall for these fictional stories. Tomorrow it’s going to be cable theft but back at Eskom HQ they’re selling our electricity to outsiders for personal profit. De Ruyter must go.
