Corrupt activities perpetrated by Eskom staff

Prepaid electricity system breach and R238,000 for a mop — major corruption at Eskom

While state-owned power utility Eskom has been weeding out corrupt elements within the organization, it continues to unearth new ways criminals are robbing the company and stealing from legitimate customers.

Most recently, Eskom disclosed that it suspected insiders were involved in a breach of its online vending system, allowing electricity thieves to generate illegal prepaid electricity tokens in bulk.

the online vending system (OVS)

tokens were sold through offline electricity credit dispensing units that were stolen or lost

No.

See that's just pure stupidity. Which bright spark thought it was a good idea to make dispensers offline capable, when the security revolves around online validation, as the name implies?

I weep for humanity sometimes. Stupidity is a heavy burden on society.

So billions dissapear. They open cases of fraud but no one convicted. And disciplinary action is like no vending machine coffee for a day.

"For this reason, Eskom strongly suspects that some of its own staff had successfully colluded with illicit operators..."

Oh Noes! Say it ain't so!

And.... De Ruiter wasn't totally making things up, now was he?

If the ANC spent the effort they put into stealing into running the country we would be a world leader. But know zero self control or accountability, the local norm.

It seems none of this would have happened if De Ruyter hadn't made a stink about it?

All well and good, but what happens after a few years without another De Ruyter type being a stickler about fraud and corruption and this sudden focus on it dies down? Back to form?

The whole point why they made sure to kick him to the curb and convince the masses he was the problem, the worst Eskom CEO EVAR.
