R30M FRAUD TRIAL OF EX ESKOM SENIOR MANAGER FRANCE HLAKUDI RESUMES ON MONDAY 13 FEBRUARY
The trial of former Eskom senior executive France Hlakudi, in connection with a R30 million tax fraud matter, returns on Monday 13 and Thursday 16 February 2023.
Trial was last in court in February 2022. It was paused due to Hlakudi requesting an opportunity to get legal representation through legal aid, after his previous attorneys withdrew. The matter was last in court in November 2022 for legal representations.
Hlakudi faces tax fraud charges to the value of R30 million, related to his personal tax affairs and that of his companies, Hlakudi Translation and Interpretation cc, Coxinel Chicken (Pty)Ltd, and Bon Services Telcom cc. This is for the funds received between 2015 and 2018.
