Addressing the Standing Committee on Public Accounts (Scopa), Mothibi spoke to the Standing Committee on Public Accounts (Scopa) and explained how Eskom workers took advantage of “low-value” contracts at some of the biggest power stations in the country.
These contracts were meant to speed up purchasing for urgent needs, but instead, corrupt employees used them to their advantage.
Employees reportedly conducted transactions outside of normal working hours—before 07:00 in the morning or after 18:00 at night—deliberately avoiding detection while processing fraudulent purchase orders.
