De Ruyter says sabotage is difficult to detect, prevent and prosecute

Sabotage of Eskom equipment and coal syndicates are among the criminal activities contributing to one stage of load-shedding.

“I would say on average there is a stage or two of load-shedding that can be attributed to these criminal activities,” he said. “This is a pattern. We found it at other power stations as well. At Tutuka, for example, people deliberately break equipment because that results in a maintenance callout, which puts money into the pockets of the maintenance contractors,” he said.

De Ruyter said there were many motives for sabotage but it was difficult to detect, prevent and prosecute.
