The Johannesburg specialised commercial crime court has issued a warrant of arrest for former Eskom contracts manager France Hlakudi after he failed to appear in court on Wednesday.
Hlakudi is among several people accused of fraud and corruption relating to the Eskom Kusile R745m case. Hlakudi is expected to appear within 14 days for final forfeiture of his bail money.
The other accused are former Eskom group executive for group capital division Abram Masango, businessman Maphoko Kgomoeswana, Tubular Construction CEO Antonio Trindade — who was a service provider to Eskom — and seven other companies.The charges relate to the alleged defrauding of Eskom's Kusile power station construction project between 2014 and 2017.
Lomas was arrested in April last year after the NPA's Investigating Directorate brought an extradition application to bring Lomas back to SA to account. Lomas' extradition trial is set to be heard in the UK in May.
