Eskom distances itself from enquiry comments

Wednesday, November 15, 2017

Eskom has distanced itself from utterances made by its officials at the Parliamentary enquiry.

“Eskom wishes to state that it distances itself from utterances made at the Parliamentary enquiry by its board spokesperson Khulani Qoma and head of legal and compliance Suzanne Daniels,” said the power utility on Tuesday.

In a statement, Eskom chairperson Zethembe Khoza said the manner in which Qoma spoke at the resumption of the enquiry about the shareholder representative, Public Enterprises Minister Lynne Brown, is not part of the Eskom culture.

“There have been several witnesses that have been called to give their testimonies who have clearly represented their own interests at the expense of the organisation and the country at large.

“We understand that Eskom will be given an opportunity to make a formal presentation at the Parliamentary enquiry where it will give an honest, transparent and truthful account of events,” said Khoza. – SAnews.gov.za
