Treasury receives draft Tegeta forensic report

Monday, July 30, 2018

National Treasury has received the draft forensic report on alleged irregularities in the awarding by Eskom of a coal contract to Tegeta.

“Further to the announcement of 4 August 2017, National Treasury has received the draft forensic report on the alleged irregularities in the awarding by Eskom of a coal contract to Tegeta and in Transnet’s procurement of locomotives from China South Rail,” said Treasury on Sunday.

The report has been given to the relevant parties for comment.

“These parties have been given two weeks to respond. Treasury will make the report public once it has reviewed all the comments,” said Treasury.

Last year, Treasury was instructed to undertake a forensic investigation into the Tegeta report which was handed over to the Standing Committee on Public Accounts (SCOPA).

Previously it was reported that power utility Eskom had asked for an extension to submit documents in National Treasury review of Eskom’s coal-supply contracts with Tegeta Resources and Exploration. - SAnews.gov.za
