"Twitter engineer" and ex-Eskom CEO Matshela Koko arrested

[mojoman]

But is he a "twitter engineer" ? That was the actual question...

He might be?

 

[Gravedigger]

They need to pay back the money - that will be beautiful.

Next excuse will be, "filing for bankruptcy"?

Edit: Unless the monies has been funneled to the Gupta empire?
Daai geld is dalk miskien weg, maybe they spent it on lavish parties, properties, and/or cars?
I don't think the money is in a bank somewhere...

 

[Tman*]

why is he a Twitter engineer?

This won't go anywhere. It will go on for months and nothing. People are already showing their displeasure with this corrupt ****** being arrested. So many people in this country are just sheep, following BS

Yoh, just a couple of tweets and "people are already showing their displeasure" ?

It's almost 13:00 does this mean the interview is cancelled? I'm sure there's wifi in the holding cell.

Maybe there should have been something in the article to explain what twitter engineer means since it's in the title? Just my opinion but I don't know how journalism works these days.

 

[Gazg]

.........but the mouth was big, it always is.

 

[Cosmik Debris]

It's called facts, he is an Engineer, simple as that.

A corrupt engineer. But you will say presumed innocent until proven guilty as usual.

 

[Cosmik Debris]

Dodge what? I promise I am devastated by what the guy did at Eskom, but he is still an Engineer, same way Wouter Basson is still a doctor, it is simple really, I don't understand what you people want from me.

Your opinion on his corruption.

Assets can be attached.

And nobody seems to have noticed that it wasn't Rama$ofa that had him arrested nor the Hawks nor any state actor:

Solidarity filed criminal charges against Koko, Singh, Molefe, and Zwane over their alleged roles in capturing Eskom in June 2022.

 

[TheChamp]

Well, I am appalled at his amateurish ways, immediate family is not the people you give tenders to, especially when you are the Boss of the tender dispensing company.

It's nice but they were going to be arrested even if Solidarity did nothing.

He has an engineering degree, but was never registered as a professional engineer with the Engineering Council of South Africa. So quite different from Wouter Basson, who is registered as a medical specialist in more than one field with the HPCSA.
Unfortunately in SA we had to resort to the title "Professional Engineer" because every Tom, Dick and Harry can call himself a engineer.

Tenderpreneuring 101, textbook mistake.

"Twitter engineer" and ex-Eskom CEO Matshela Koko arrested

The National Prosecuting Authority's (NPA's) Investigative Directorate has arrested former acting Eskom CEO Matshela Koko, his wife, stepdaughter, and several others on charges of corruption, fraud, and money laundering.

The charges are in connection to a 2015 multi-billion-rand contract between Eskom and Swiss engineering company Asea Brown Boveri (ABB) on the construction of the Kusile Power Station.

I am waiting in anticipation for arrests of prominent politicians and their family members....

He studied a BSc in Chemical Engineering, worked on water treatment plants, if one word could describe him it would be arrogant. Once you climb the managerial ladder Pr Eng is not a requirement in Eskom.

Yeah, I will take that with a massive pitch of salt, at some point early on in his career he must have been registered, it probably no longer made any difference as he moved up the Eskom ladder.
