A 27-year-old Mpumalanga man has been arrested for allegedly threatening Eskom COO Jan Oberholzer with a bomb.
“This nature and level of threats, therefore, demand that they focus on their personal safety and that of their families instead, distracting them from the critical task their jobs demand of them.”“Safety and security risks inadvertently impose increased demands on the organisation to secure its resources.
Pillay said Eskom would provide the required support to police to help ensure the suspect is successfully prosecuted and a stiff sanction meted out as a favourable outcome would deter other would-be offenders. A spokesperson for the Mpumalanga SAPS directed TimesLIVE to the Hawks for comment, which was not forthcoming at the time of publication. This story will be updated once received.
