It is alleged the executive strategically appointed hand-picked engineers to initiate generation unit breakdowns at certain power stations.
The South African Police Service has identified a high-ranking Eskom executive that they believe could be central to the sabotage plaguing the power utility’s generation fleet, City PressThe executive has been the subject of discussions between security cluster ministers over serious allegations made against them.
He explained that, following a meeting with President Cyril Ramaphosa, where he berated those around Eskom for being pushed into criminal activity, his team raised suspicions over the executive. An investigation revealed that two water flow control valves for the fire suppression system had been shut off, and there was no record of any approval for the valves to be shut off.
“What further arouses suspicion that this was a deliberate act of sabotage is that nothing was stolen. This was clearly now, an act of sabotage, and we can call it as such,” said De Ruyter.
