Michael Lomas, 79, is sentenced in the Gauteng High Court in Johannesburg after pleading guilty to bribery related to Eskom’s Kusile power station scandal. According to reports, the court issues a 15-year prison sentence that is wholly suspended for five years. Prosecutors and the court process are linked to allegations that Lomas funnels more than R2.6 million in bribes to two senior Eskom managers connected to the R1.4 billion Kusile project. The guilty plea leads to the suspended term rather than immediate incarceration. The case centres on the alleged transfer of money as part of unlawful conduct involving senior personnel at Eskom and the Kusile construction programme. Multiple accounts describe the same outcome and key figures: the total bribe amount exceeding R2.6 million, the involvement of two senior managers, and the Kusile project’s cited value of R1.4 billion. The sentencing takes place in Johannesburg, with the suspension period set at five years.
