Cape Town – As the Special Investigating Unit prepares for a showdown in court with former Eskom executives – including former chief executive Brian Molefe, former chief financial officer Anoj Singh and former group executive for Generation Matshela Koko – Molefe has welcomed the opportunity to detail what transpired at the power utility.
The summons is an attempt to recover R3.8 billion which the power utility said had been “lost in a concerted effort corruptly to divert financial resources from Eskom, to improperly and illegally benefit the Gupta family and entities controlled by the said family and their associates” during their 2015 to 2016 acquisition of the operations of Optimum Coal Holdings Limited.
“We are looking forward to expressing our side of the story, the right to be heard. The right to hear the other side is a natural justice right.” Molefe said that whenever such allegations surfaced against him and those accused with him, they were never given an opportunity to present their side of the story in an open and appropriate forum where the matter could be ventilated openly.
