Eskom CEO André de Ruyter revealed startling new details about the corruption still plaguing Eskom.
Eskom employees and contractors at the Tutuka power station managed to steal spares worth R1.3 billion and got away with it.
“During the last financial year ended 31 March 2021, we had to write off R1.3 billion in spares at Tutuka power station, where we simply couldn’t find the spares,” De Ruyter said. “We are also aware of collusion taking place between people with maintenance contracts, maintenance management, and coal suppliers in order to, for example, disrupt the operation of mills by adding very hard objects to the supply of coal into a mill,” he said.De Ruyter said that continued sabotage and criminal activity had resulted in Eskom stepping up security at its power stations.
