"What is key and pivotal in this particular arrest is because we discovered the tax evasion through investigations of what we are seeing were money being channelled from various sub-contractors of Eskom," says spokesperson Sindisiwe Sebokwa.
"As the Investigating Directorate working with SARS we have been hard at work to ensure that we bring to book many matters in which we allege that state capture could possibly have taken place."
Legoabe was released on bail of R10 000.
