ESKOM GRAFT: LOMAS AND FOUR OTHERS TO GO ON TRIAL IN JULY 2026
- Faizel Patel

ESkokm graft-accused Michael Lomas has been granted R2 million bail.

The 77-year-old Lomas appeared in the High Court in Johannesburg, where the judgment in his bail application was handed down.

A frail Lomas sat in the dock as Judge Rean Strydom read out the bail ruling.

Strydom ruled that Lomas' United Kingdom passport and South African identity document must be "surrendered" to the investigating officer.

Strydom barred Lomas from applying for travel documents and ordered that he must reside at a care home where he would be provided with assistance.

"The details of the home must be provided to the investigating officer," he said.

He added that there must be a smartphone with location services turned on for the investigating officer to monitor the facility.
