A former Eskom Administration Clerk was found guilty and sentenced in the Mbombela Specialised Commercial Crime Court on Wednesday, 3 May. The 40-year-old woman will be imprisoned for 10 years. Nwabisa Ngxola was arrested for fraud, corruption and money laundering amounting to R2.6 million. She was sentenced to 10 years imprisonment for 16 counts of fraud, seven years for 39 counts of corruption and an additional seven years for 48 counts of money laundering. The conviction and sentence come after a lengthy investigation by the Nelspruit Hawks and Eskom Forensic Investigators. Mpumalanga Hawks boss Major-General Gerber praised the court for handing the “appropriate sentence” and said it would serve as an example to those who are still pilfering from Eskom.
The State alleges Ngxola was working as an admin clerk at Eskom together with her co-accused Cinderella Morpane. The pair allegedly colluded with Michael Chimanzi, the sole director of Chimanzi Investments, and allegedly submitted fraudulent invoices to the power utility for never rendered services.
