Another Eskom employee in Mpumalanga has appeared in court on fraud, theft and money laundering charges – this time in Standerton.

Zandile Rosemary Ngcobo, 43, was released on R5 000 bail after she appeared in the Standerton Magistrate's Court on Wednesday.

Hawks spokesperson, Captain Dineo Lucy Sekgotodi, said Ngcobo was employed as a procurement officer at Tutuka Power Station.

"It is alleged that as a procurement officer, the accused colluded with [a service provider] and submitted fraudulent documents, [and] inflated the prices from R60 000 to R939 000, causing actual prejudice to Eskom," Sekgotodi said.

The case was postponed to Thursday, when it will be transferred to the Middelburg Specialised Commercial Crimes Court.

Ngcobo will join other accused in the matter.

Her appearance comes days after the Hawks arrested someone in a separate Eskom-related fraud, theft and money laundering case involving R14.7 million.

Maria Cantelo, 53, appeared in the Hendrina Specialised Commercial Crimes Court on Friday and was released on R100 000 bail with conditions.

Cantelo's co-accused are Eskom employee Thandeka Nkosi, 42, and mother and son, Rabela Sara Jones, 71, and Godfrey Jason Jones, 46.

It is alleged that Nkosi, a buyer at one of Eskom's power stations, colluded with the other accused to defraud the power utility.

Police are still on the hunt for Jones' other son.
