JOHANNESBURG – Eskom’s head of security Karen Pillay has been placed on precautionary suspension.
This is pending the finalisation and outcome of a probe into allegations made against her in the awarding of a R500-million tender to Fidelity Security Services.
Eskom spokesperson Daphne Mokwena says the suspension is to allow space for the investigation to continue unhindered.
Meanwhile, the Association of Private Security Owners of South Africa has welcomed the suspension.
It’s calling for more heads to roll, and for other senior officials involved in the tender to face the music.
