JOHANNESBURG - The case against Eskom graft-accused Michael Lomas has been postponed to December.
He appeared briefly in the Specialised Commercial Crimes Court in Palm Ridge on Monday morning.
Lomas faces over 60 counts of corruption linked to the R1.4 billion contract for the upgrade of Eskom’s Kusile power station in Mpumalanga between 2014 and 2017.
He, along with other senior officials from Eskom, was arrested following an investigation by the Special Investigative Unit (SIU), which uncovered evidence of criminal activity.
The 77-year-old arrived in South Africa in September after being extradited from the United Kingdom.
