CAPE TOWN – The Eskom board will return to the hot seat in Parliament on Wednesday where the inquiry into state capture at the parastatal continues.

On Tuesday, suspended Eskom CFO Anoj Singh ruffled feathers and was sent packing after he submitted requested documents the night before his appearance.

He was accused by MPs of being disrespectful and purposefully employing delaying tactics.

MPs complained they weren’t given enough time to peruse the 400-page package.

His appearance before the inquiry has been postponed until next year.

Meanwhile, current acting Eskom chairman Zethembe Khoza made the surprising claim that former CEO Tshediso Matona was suspended to face charges.

This directly contradicted earlier testimony by board members that he was not suspected of any wrongdoing.

Khoza also failed to explain why the reasons for his suspension were not revealed to Matona when he challenged his suspension in court, partly on the grounds that he was never supplied with reasons.

In weeks of testimony so far, Eskom board members and Public Enterprises Minister Lynne Brown have been forced to concede that the careers of Matona, finance director Tsholofelo Molefe and group capital executive Dan Marokane at the power utility were brought to an abrupt end without basis after they were asked to step aside to allow an inquiry into the company’s woes.

Khoza said the board had been persuaded by then chairman Zola Tsotsi that there were charges against the three executives in the pipeline, but he could not recall what these were.

He would have to find and submit the relevant document, he added.

In earlier testimony before the inquiry, Tsotsi made the explosive claim that he was ordered to suspend Matona, Molefe and Marokane by former South African Airways chairwoman Dudu Myeni.
