Former acting Eskom CEO Matshela Koko has apologised to ANC leader Gwede Mantashe's daughter Nombasa Mawela, a year and ten months after alleging at a disciplinary hearing that she was a beneficiary of corruption.
In November 2017 the then-suspended Eskom executive alleged that Mawela, and others, had been involved in corruption. Koko resigned from Eskom in February 2018.
Mawela lodged a R500 000 defamation lawsuit against Koko in 2018 over the claims he made, according to TimesLive.
On Sunday on Twitter Koko retracted the corruption allegation in a series of tweets, saying he apologised to Mawela for "any harm to her reputation suffered as a result of these allegations".
