An Eskom employee appeared in court on Monday on a charge of theft after attempting to steal transformer oil and solvent gel last week.
The power utility said in a statement the employee was caught by Eskom security personnel while trying to exit the Rosherville power station premises in Johannesburg.
He had on him three full drums of transformer oil, one empty one, and six containers of 5 litre power safety solvent gel.
The employee had no full removal permits for any of the goods, and was only authorized to remove two full and two empty transformer oil drums.
Police were called and the man was taken into custody.
“We are disappointed that one of our own is implicated in the alleged theft. Eskom remains committed to resource optimization where we ensure that all material is channeled to its intended use,” Eskom Gauteng safety, health, environment, and quality manager Kith Maitisa said.
“We will continue to heighten efforts to curb material loss and any criminal acts by anyone, including our employees.”
