Eskom inquiry moved to next week

The inquiry into the mismanagement of funds and allegations of state capture at Eskom will not sit this week.

The Portfolio Committee on Public Enterprises was set to meet tomorrow to deliberate on the work the inquiry has conducted so far.

However, Parliament says the committee has made an application to hear witnesses from Tuesday to Friday next week.

Last week, the committee heard testimony from former Eskom board chairperson, Zola Tsotsi who implicated President Jacob Zuma and former South African Airways board chairperson Dudu Myeni, in interference in the affairs at the state-owned power utility.

Tsotsi also testified that following the appointment of new board members in 2015, some disturbing events involving Public Enterprises Minister Lynne Brown, Zuma, Myeni and one of the Gutpa brothers, unfolded.
