Eskom employee sentenced for Tutuka oil theft
An Eskom employee who worked at Tutuka Power Station in Mpumalanga has been sentenced for the theft of hydraulic fluid oil.
Katlego Twala appeared in the Standerton Regional Court on Tuesday.
His sentencing comes after he was linked to the theft of five drums of hydraulic fluid oil in October last year.
He was sentenced to one-year imprisonment or to pay a fine of R10 000, wholly suspended for five years.
"Eskom has a zero-tolerance stance on acts of dishonesty and views the conduct of the employee as unacceptable," the utility said in a statement.
"We will continue working on flushing out the minority that cast a shadow on the organisation."
