Its Local Government Affairs Manager, Morne Mostert, says this can't be tolerated.

"There should rather be time and effort put in to better the reporting system, to better the supply chain management.

"And I think the supply chain management is one of the key problems that Eskom is having where the contract management isn't  being done properly," Mostert said.
