Eskom accuses Deloitte of ‘pure corruption’, wants R207m back

‘Deloitte was granted contracts when their prices were five times higher than those of their competitors,’ Eskom acting CEO Jabu Mabuza said.

The utility said in a statement on Monday evening that it has issued court papers and filed an affidavit against Deloitte Consulting for the setting aside of awards of contracts and the recovery of funds amounting to more than R207m. He said Eskom has information that showed Eskom officials gave Deloitte off-the-record briefings on proposals and that Deloitte was granted contracts even though their pricing was way above their competitors. These contracts were modified to just under the ceiling price which requires the approval of the provincial Treasury.

In one of the tenders, Deloitte’s price was R79 million versus just under R16 million and R9 million from two competitors. In a second tender Deloitte’s price was R88.8m versus R14.5m, R13.25m and R6.59m from three competitors.
