The Gupta family has slammed a bid by Eskom and the Special Investigating Unit to sue them for R3.8bn as a “national embarrassment waiting to happen”.

reported that two former Eskom executives implicated in state capture at the electricity utility had reacted with anger and bemusement at the summons sought in the high court in Pretoria.

Former Eskom group CEO Brian Molefe, CFO Anoj Singh, former group executive of generation Matshela Koko and company secretary Suzanne Daniels are among the erstwhile executives named in the Eskom statement. “I think it’s a singular act of cowardice,” said Molefe. “They went to court and I presume put in the particulars of what their claim entails. Before we could have sight of their summons, they issued a press statement. That puts us in the position of having to respond to queries without having seen the documents.” he was ready to go through the process as it would afford him the chance to respond to the allegations.“I've said what I wanted to say,” he said.
