“We are under no illusion that we will recover the full R4 billion and, of course over the past five years, people have done a great deal of spiriting that money away and hiding it in places where we

may never be able to find it. But we will certainly get more than it would cost us to prosecute this matter,” said Eskom’s spokesperson Sikonathi Mantshantsha.“We will indeed end up owning things that belong to some of them at this point. They may not be the full R4 billion, but Eskom does not have the option of doing nothing in the face of this kind of injustice,” he said.

The power utility and the Special Investigating Unit on Monday approached the North Gauteng High Court to recoup R3.8 billion lost to corruption and state capture from former Eskom board members, executives, members of the Gupta family, and their associates. Among the defendants were former Eskom group chief executive officer Brian Molefe, former chief financial Anoj Singh, the power utility’s former head of generation Matshela Koko as well as the Gupta brothers, Rajesh, Atul, and Ajay.Download the EWN app to your iOS or Android device.
