SowetanLive reports that a computer belonging to a suspended Eskom supervisor has been seized by police following revelations that the slain power utility's employee, Thembisile Yende, had lodged a complaint against him.
Yende's brother Mboneni Yende indicated on Tuesday that the family was aware of the complaint against the supervisor, but were not familiar with its content. A police source close to the investigation said the computer was seized last week from the Pieterboth substation in Springs, Ekurhuleni, where Yende was found dead. Her body was found 13 days after she went missing on 17 May at the substation, where she had gone to work. The police source said a few other employees at the substation and head office had also been interrogated. There are apparently no specific suspects at present. Amongst those interrogated were security guards who were on duty at the substation on the day she died. Last week, Yende's autopsy revealed that she had been killed, and that she had sustained head and neck injuries.
