Eskom project manager arrested for accepting R50 000 bribe
The Hawks have arrested an Eskom project manager for allegedly accepting a R50,000 gratification to assist with a tender at Eskom.
The 31-year-old suspect arrested by the Johannesburg Hawks’ Serious Corruption Investigation will appear at the Middlebury Special Commercial Crime Court on Monday for allegations of fraud and corruption.
It is alleged that around October 2022, a complaint was reported about fraud and corruption that was committed by an Eskom project manager as well as two other Eskom officials, together with Luthando Engineering.
It is said that an amount of R25,000 was given to the project manager as gratification by Luthando Engineering in order to be granted a one-year tender contract to install lights at Eskom, and around November 2022, the project manager gave the complainant another R25,000 for gratification.
“The improprieties were reported to the Hawks’ Serious Corruption Investigation,” Said Colonel Katlego Mogale, Hawks spokesperson.
Mogale said Hawks’ members worked on an operation that was conducted outside Kriel power station after information was received that the suspect would be transporting money yet again to the service provider.
“During the operation, the suspect was searched and no money was found in his possession but R16,600 was found at his place of residence,” Mogale said.
The investigating team is commended by the Provincial Head of the Hawks in Gauteng, Major General Ebrahim Kadwa, for a breakthrough in addressing the scourge of corruption that is hampering economic growth in the country.
