News24 reports that a Mpumalanga woman has appeared in the Standerton Magistrate's Court in connection with a theft and money laundering case related to the Tutuka power station.

Annemarie Stander, 55, was released on R5,000 bail last Wednesday after she was arrested by the Hawks. An investigation revealed that in 2021 Eskom's Tutuka Power Station issued an order to Umnandi Conference and Catering for the purchase and delivery of two containers at the power station. "Umnandi colluded with Eskom employees, and the company invoiced Eskom an amount of R939,550 without purchasing and delivering the containers," said a Hawks spokesperson. Stander will join three Eskom officials who were arrested by Standerton detectives before the case was transferred to the Hawks for further investigation in January. The case will continue in the Middelburg Specialised Commercial Crimes Court on Monday.
