EXCLUSIVE: Eskom lied about Bowmans mandate

DURBAN - IN AN ONGOING battle between Eskom and Econ Oil & Energy, new evidence obtained by the Daily News suggests that Eskom executives, led by the entity’s chief executive André de Ruyter may have overstepped their mandate and illegally appointed Bowmans law firm in an effort to push out the black female-owned fuel supplier.
In what sources close to developments have termed a carefully co-ordinated approach, insiders and evidence suggest that Eskom misrepresented the truth when it claimed in some media reports that its suspended chief procurement officer, Solly Tshitangano, with three other officials, allegedly cancelled Bowman’s investigation without the knowledge of chief operating officer, Jan Oberholzer.
