“The arrests followed months of internal investigative work by Eskom, in co-operation with the law-enforcement agencies in Mpumalanga. Eskom’s investigations have also established the existence of a syndicate responsible for the theft of about R100m worth of fuel oil per month from the power station,” said Eskom.Four other suspects involved in the same scheme are expected to be arrested during the course of next week.
“Eskom, and Tutuka power station in particular, continues to be the scene of the most despicable of crimes perpetrated by some of the very people tasked with the stewardship of this public institution and by unscrupulous suppliers,” said Eskom CEO Andre de Ruyter. “While these investigations take a long time to come to fruition, the wins whereby arrests are made and criminals are brought to answer for their unlawful conduct, goes a long way towards making a positive contribution to the rebuilding of the organisation,” added Eskom.
Not easy to understand/comprehend the extent of the criminality.The scale is just crazee!! At least it was now picked up- progress at last.
Is just me or has there been so much high-level looting in past few years that R100m is starting to sound like R100 🤔 where does all this money go? The banks know, but they’re too busy klapping the bank charges and policing honest peoples money. SABanksMustTalk
Jesus. I’m leaving this shit hole. Thank Jesus
Highly unlikely, something else is going on
FraudWatchZA 😵😡
Bring back the death penalty
For how many months this has been happening
Lock them up and throw the fucking key away
How many months did this go on, what is the total fraud value - if it’s R100m per month, why a low bail amount of R5k each? Finally, WTF is going on at Eskom 😢😢😢
And there after give us small units of electricity and loadshedding everyday.
How the fck is that possible? Eskom_SA ?!?
So those employees are now 100 million rich

I do not blame this guys who stole,times are tough. They were just hustling
RSA is a crime scene
Arrest those who are ultimately accountable, those who signed off and approved the deals. That is how the rule of law works or has the law gone
These people care nothing for South Africa 🇿🇦…only self interest…
Sabotage.
Let me guess, two black employees of Eskom, neh. White collar crime never gets exposure in SA.
How do people manage to steal R100 million worth of fuel? There is something seriously going wrong at Eskom and the country is paying the biggest price.
JackD157 Tutuka is a hyena nest. De Ruyter needs to climb in a clean out the crooks and incompetents. Eskom_SA SikonathiM
5k bail?
And let’s not mention the fuel contract for SAA 👀
For how many months has it been going on. Also two employee's, you make sound like the janitor did it. I'm pretty sure some one senior and connected would be the only type of person to sperit away R100 Mil a month that's like 5 million liters a month.
South Africa is full of thieves hey
Propaganda machine.... They're covering for Rupert, Pravin and Ramaphosa.... To hell with these newsrooms🚮
Why does Andre de Ruyter have a job R100M every month yet Eskom wants to increase our rates every month
Everyone else in the reporting structures of these two employees should also be arrested for complicity and incompetence....all the way to the executive level...
Here is a message to all employees do the job you are paid for you are not entitled to more. This is treason, employees caught stealing state resources should be given mandatory 15 year sentences of hard labour.
Not everything is black and white. We are used to not being told the whole story.
Black Monopoly Capital strikes again! 🥴🥴🤮🤮
In SA thieves forever appear in courts and no consequences. Even Nokia nearly made it, had it not the brilliant work of the investigating officer...
Not only incompetent and useless but also corrupt to the core
Then there is load shedding it's sobotage
Mash Vader beat series Episode2🚨🔥
This can't be true. R100m? 😲😲
Nywe Nywe bring back Brian you U see yo Cyril is failing us 😂😊😆
Just another anc administration crime spree
Scapegoating!!
How many RDP houses in 100million
Nonsense!
Geez🤮🤮🤮
This story doesn't make sense to me, I feel like were being distracted from real issues at Eskom wich is poor management.
Lock them up and freeze there pensions ,, it must hurt there pockets
It amazes me that news24 left wing media don't state the race of these thieves. If it were white people, by now they would be having an orgy jump. Viva black power corruption, amandla!
Those employees don't have names and pics but Eskom is,nidlala ngabantu nina thumaminions
RonaldLamola CyrilRamaphosa With due respect my Excellency, what is this joke about our judiciary giving a bail to ppl who's messing the Country, please intervene and reverse this joke.
This does not make sense,surely you shielding something here,where are the checks and balances?PravinMustGo De Reiter must go
The charge should be treason
What have we done to have ANC as our govt?So help us God.
domestic terrorism
Tax payer you got lucky, another scam vying for sa’s top theft spot. Privatise all SOE’s
R100ml a month ffs? Did they pull a ship up to the side of the power plant,how the fuck …without being noticed for how longthese are the type fuckers that are funding Gwede’s coal agenda
Yet we should trust eskom
The bail money doesn't not reflect the scope of this theft. We have a judiciary problem.
Any relationship with the Guptas or Zuma?
Spitting lies apha🤔
20 years jail and asset forfeiture
WOW .....THESE NATIVES STOLE FUEL OIL FOR MILLIONS AND GET BAIL OF R5000 ...? HATS OFF TO THE DEMOCRATIC LAWS OF S.A.!!!
All of these is just another lie so that we can believe them when they tell us bout loadshedding I mean like we know the technicians steal parts yeah.
Treason not theft, should be the Charge
So no body notice that R100m is missing each and every months aymaan amanga lawa nx🚮🚮🚮
They actually steal to destroy
This is truly sad. During such hard economic times even
I wouldn't be surprised if they r associated with RET brigades. This corrupt faction of ANC want to destroy this country. South Africa must be protected from these corrupt politicians.
This country's justice system is a joke, you are a multimillionaire from stealing from Eskom, and yet you're given a bail of R5000?
Amasela are everywhere!
Albert Einstein 🇨🇭 in his time forgot to publish the following mathematical equation: Eskom = the square root of corruption and bribery + poor service delivery. Say no more! 🤬🤬🤬
Hayi chosi ntsomi .
Haibo
Tsk!!
