THE NPA’s Investigating Directorate (ID) has arrested former Eskom acting chief executive Matshela Koko, his wife Mosima and his stepdaughter Koketso Choma on charges of corruption.
Koko, and several others, face charges of fraud, corruption and money laundering.
They are expected to apply for bail when they appear in the Middelburg magistrate’s court later on Thursday.
“The accused are to be arraigned on charges arising from alleged irregular contracts granted for the building of the Kusile power station valued at over R2bn,” said NPA Investigating Directorate spokesperson Sindisiwe Seboka.
Later in the day, the Middelburg Magistrate’s Court granted Koko bail of R300 000.
Mosima Koko, Koketso Aren, Johannes Coetzee and Thato Choma were granted bail of R70 000.
They were ordered to hand over their passports to ensure their attendance at trial.
They are all expected to return to court in March next year.
