State-owned utility Eskom has received the report on the findings of an independent investigation into diesel procurement and storage contracts under tender MWP2197GX.
The report is undergoing a review in line with Eskom’s internal governance process before implementation of its recommendations.
Eskom’s Group Investigations and Security function in March 2025 initiated the investigation into possible irregularities relating to the procurement of diesel fuel and storage contracts under tender MWP2197GX.
This followed the monitoring of contract performance during operational emergencies that involved loadshedding in early 2025, as well as information received through established reporting and whistleblowing mechanisms.
On May 15, Eskom provided an update on the investigation following the receipt of the interim report, conducted by an independent forensic firm.
