Fin24 reports that a contractor working at Camden power station in Mpumalanga was arrested on Tuesday after being positively linked to an incident of sabotage.
The contractor admitted to intentionally removing the oil drain plug from a bearing on Thursday last week, causing oil burners to trip repeatedly, Eskom said in a statement. The worker was employed by a maintenance company working at the power station, and said his employer was promised additional maintenance and repair jobs at the power station if he carried out the task. The arrest followed "intensive investigative work by Eskom teams", the power utility said on Wednesday. While the contractor was arrested, no details were provided of Eskom employees who might have been involved in the promising of additional work. A case of sabotage was opened at the Ermelo police station.
