This follows a recent landmark judgment ordering a former employee to repay all the money he stole from the power utility when he was employed as a finance manager at Kriel power station.
The power utility suffered a financial loss of R513,630 after Masina created invoices and submitted them for payment for work that was not done in 2012.
“Eskom is disappointed that someone in a position of trust defrauded the organisation. Eskom continues with the implementation the fraud risk prevention plan to maximise fraud prevention and enhance good corporate governance practices,”Eskom said the implementation of the plan was monitored by the anti-fraud and corruption integration committee which also ensured integration between forensic, legal, ethics, industrial relations and supplier review functions.
