A 27-year-old Mpumalanga man has been arrested for allegedly threatening Eskom COO Jan Oberholzer with a bomb.
The power utility said on Saturday that police swooped on the suspect on Friday. It said Oberholzer received a bomb threat from an unknown cellphone number in May and an investigation ensued.
Advocate Karen Pillay, general manager of security at Eskom, said: “The targeting of Eskom executives and employees who are focused and hard at work during these difficult times is very disturbing. Such acts of criminality are malicious and Eskom takes them seriously.
