Hawks freeze R7.7m in assets linked to convicted Eskom fraud syndicate
The restraint order covers four immovable properties and eight movable assets, including several vehicles.
The Hawks have obtained a High Court restraint order for nearly R7.7 million in assets, following convictions in an Eskom fraud and money laundering case linked to a procurement scheme at Duvha Power Station. The order, dated 30 September 2026, targets four immovable properties and eight movable assets, including vehicles. The Hawks' investigation, conducted by the Secunda Special Corruption Investigation (SCI) and other law enforcement agencies, found that former Eskom buyer Nozipho Ntuli (39) abused her position to award contracts to companies linked to individuals she had personal relationships with.
These contracts, totaling R8.5 million, resulted in a financial loss to Eskom. The assets frozen include a property in Aerorand, Middelburg, and various vehicles such as a Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG and a Toyota Fortuner.
