Eskom facing R2 billion fraud probe

That figure is BS (not the whole 160bn). You read their financial statements sometime.

I read the article, de Ruyter said it.
Eskom spends around R140 billion per year on foods and services, which De Ruyter said was more than the utility should be paying.

If he said that then he should fire himself same as the CPO as he'd be an idiot. Either someone didn't pay close attention or the "b" is an "m".

It's not the ANC at fault. It can never be as long as it's the fault of billionaire White People.
 
Like tax payers their customer base is only going to carry on shrinking as more people start using alternative sources of power. and telling them to tsek.

I want competition for Eskom. Let them feed their employees , corruption etc... till they have 0 ZAR left. Because HTF do you feed people who earn decent salaries at the expense of your forced customers.

Does Eskom give their workers lunch money or is just assumptions? Could it not be S&T claims? My employer doesn't give me lunch money but we do claim for food when we go for training, when we are working away from home and other such instances.

So yes, sometimes salaried employees do get food at the employer's expense for practical reasons, without knowing the background to the food costs it's hard to make an informed comment, all we can agree on is that the costs should be managed and not go out of hand.

Certain workers are fed lunch.

But as you say, there are practical reasons for it in some places, but costs need to be managed and all that.
Hell there are also productivity reasons in some places for feeding your staff actually. The cost of feeding them and them not leaving the office can increase productivity beyond what it costs to feed them, but I doubt that is the case in general with the workers who are fed by Eskom.

If Eskom can pay R56 for 2lt of milk, I shudder to think what the catering bills look like or what claims for reimbursement are being made.

So why does Eskom employees not bring their own food? They earn a nice salary. They can buy their own food.

We are no longer having a BEE CEO as all the sins of ESKOM were apparently caused by the colour of CEO. Ask Andre that question, why isn't he changing the practice?

My guess? Unions.

They will burn eskom to the ground if CEO touches the food.

You will be taxed for using alternatives and depriving Eskom of the income.
