Eskom wants 26 South African security companies blacklisted

• Eskom has referred 26 South African security companies to the National Treasury for potential blacklisting, but it is unclear if they have followed due process.
• The blacklisting referrals are allegedly linked to a long-standing issue that began in June 2023 when Eskom suspended security manager Karen Pillay, who was accused of corruption and wrongdoing.
• TAPSOSA has expressed concerns over the selective targeting of whistleblowing companies, while implicated companies remain unaddressed, sparking calls for transparency and accountability.
