Eskom nails coal driver and supervisor for coal swapping

Eskom has announced that a coal truck driver and their supervisor have been arrested for coal theft at the Matla power station.

The arrests were made on Monday, 28 November 2022, after the driver was found in possession of sub-grade coal destined for the power station.

That's nice. Pity it's pointless

'Eskom coal thief' scot-free after case thrown out of court

The case against a 28-year-old Zimbabwean truck driver, who was arrested last Tuesday at the Camden power station in Mpumalanga on charges of fraud and theft of Eskom’s coal, has been withdrawn.

Clearly arresting these criminals aren’t a deterrent enough. Sure, the authorities are looking into the syndicates?

The driver admitted to offloading Eskom’s coal at the Rondebult coal yard and alleged that he had done so as instructed by his supervisor.

I guess Eskom suppliers are small-pickings.

Bloody treason. Hang them.

“Yet again, these arrests are a significant step in rooting out criminals in Eskom"

No, no it isn't. Not even close.
I'd be surprised if it even reaches deterrent status at all.

A so-called "significant step" would be the arrest and execution of the higher-up government officials puppeteering all of this. That would never happen.

So relax, it's business as usual... just keep your eyes on the ball and get prepared, the long dark is coming.

We should make executions a national sport.

A significant step would be to lock up the:

• Owners of Ukusebenza Transport for transportation of stolen goods
• Owners of Rondebult coal yard for dealing in stolen goods
• Bidvest Protea Coin security for not enforcing checks

This is not a new problem, has been going on for years and arresting a driver and supervisor is next to nothing.
We want this and other illegal practices stopped.

Does not good whatsoever.

Orders come from the top.

Scrap the contractor. Until such time Eskom does all this is smoke and mirrors.

Nails is slowly becoming the new massive.

And just like that another qualifier is born, for a political career in the ANC
