Ex-Eskom contractor extradited to South Africa to face fraud charges
Former Eskom contractor Michael Lomas has been extradited to South Africa.
He has been charged with corruption in connection with tender fraud at the Kusile Power Station between 2008 and 2018.
Lomas is one of five suspects.
The other four were arrested in 2019 when Lomas had already moved to the United Kingdom.
He was nabbed in London in 2021 but was out on bail of R1.7 million.
An application for his extradition began in 2019 and was successful last month.
