Due to lower demand overnight, Eskom suspended load shedding briefly at 00:53.
Zandile Rosemary Ngcobo who was employed as a procurement officer allegedly colluded with two Eskom employees and a supplier in purchasing a shipping container at an inflated price of R939 550.

He said that if a CEO could do a public interview and"rattle" about their grievances - that is not good governance. Nxumalo, Scheepers, Bala and Pillay talk about numerous issues including the need for load shedding, dealing with demand-side issues and other security issues. Pillay says R2 billion has been spent dealing with security upgradesLees asks that each board member to say yes or no if they were informed by De Ruyter about the probe.
Pillay says the mandate of that team was to deal with theft, corruption etc, but to also co-ordinate with all authorities. Makwana - suppose De Ruyter said who the minister is - Eskom doesn't the right to arrest that personHlengwa - he was your CEO - why did you not sit De Ruyter down and ask him about the allegations.
Van Minnen asks the board if they deny that there is a problem at Tutuka, that there are Mpuma cartels and if R1bn goes missing each month.Van Minnen says she is concerned that people who have to talk to Parliament are not here to discuss what is happening at Eskom, and what is being done about the allegations. Makwana talks about how an exec is suspended when they do something to bring an organisation into disrepute, and they acted in the best interests of Eskom in telling him to leave earlier.
