A theft and money laundering case against a 55 years old woman has been transferred to the Middleburg Specialised Commercial Crimes Court following the postponement by Standerton Magistrate’ Court to February 20th.
Annemarie Stander has been accused of colluding with Eskom employees at Tutuka Power Station to take almost R 1million from the entity for a service they did not supply.
Hawks Spokesperson in Mpumalanga Captain Dineo Sekgotodi said the Power Station issued an order to Umnandi Conference and Catering for the purchase and delivery of two containers at the power station.
The company, Umnandi allegedly colluded with Eskom employees and the company invoiced Eskom an amount of R939 550.00 without purchasing and delivering of the containers. Payment was done and Eskom suffered a loss.
Stander will be added to other three Eskom officials who were arrested by Standerton detectives before the case was transferred to the Hawks for further investigation in January 2023.
