Eskom suspends senior coal manager with R12m bank balance
Updated | By Nokukhanya N Mntambo
Eskom says it has suspended a senior coal manager suspected of corruption.

This comes after investigations by the Special Investigating Unit (SIU) uncovered funds to the tune of R12 million in a bank account linked to Petrus Mazibuko.
Mazibuko is alleged to have gotten kickbacks from two suppliers.
It’s understood the two suppliers were depositing money into a business account to which Mazibuko is a signatory.
Mazibuko had also not declared his interests to Eskom.
“Eskom has today placed the employee on preliminary suspension, pending a disciplinary process,” said the power utility’s spokesperson Sikonathi Mantshantsha.
“The bank account has been frozen pending a full investigation and criminal charges and prosecution.”
Mantshantsha added this was a step in the direction for Eskom’s clean-up strategy.
“The utility will do everything it can to weed out corrupt elements from within its workforce and suppliers.
“Furthermore, efforts to clean up the company’s operations and suppliers are in full swing, with some investigations into cases that have been identified at an advanced stage.”
