Two Eskom employees and a supplier appeared in the Standerton Magistrates’ Court on Friday on charges of theft, fraud and corruption.
Eskom said the case is in relation to theft of spares at its Tutuka Power Station.
“All three suspects were charged with fraud, theft and corruption in a crime in which hundreds of millions of rands in goods and services have been paid by Eskom when such have not been delivered or rendered at the power station,” it said.
The suspects were released on bail of R5000 each and will go on trial in February.
Eskom added its investigation has revealed the existence of a syndicate responsible for the theft of approximately R100 million worth of fuel per month from the Tutuka Power Station and more arrests were imminent.
