Eskom employee Johannes Mfalapitsa and his family received about R8 million in unlawful payments; at least R1.5 million of the Bendor home's building costs came from tainted funds.

Scope & interpretation

Entries summarise cited public records, which can include preservation or forfeiture orders, charges, investigations, judgments and settlements. Statuses are source-bounded; inclusion does not by itself establish criminal guilt or a final finding against a named person or entity.

Tracked row value reflects the value referenced in the cited record. The headline is the arithmetic sum of each tracked row’s matter-specific value. Rows can refer to preserved or forfeited assets, alleged scheme or contract values, repayments, restrained funds or other source-defined amounts. It is not a national corruption total, a recovered-assets total, or a de-duplicated measure of public loss.

Some legacy rows still cite documented secondary sources or generic agency pages rather than a direct case-level primary source. Updated manually — may not reflect the latest case developments.
