JOHANNESBURG - Former Eskom CEO Matshela Koko said he was flabbergasted he was made to send Eskom information to external parties now that it was known the email address called infoportal belonged to businessman and Gupta associate Salim Essa.
“Here you did not do nothing about Mr Salim Essa’s composition, but you did exactly what he asked you to do.
“You presented it as your own to the minister. Therefore it is not correct to say you ignored it. It cannot be correct.”
A defeated Tsotsi responded: “Yes chairperson.”
Evidence leader advocate Pule Seleka SC added: “Mr Tsotsi said in his affidavit, ‘I quietly ignored and sent mine to the minister,’ and I think it is clear it cannot have another interpretation.”
Tsotsi, who is among those with the most appearances at the inquiry, has been parading himself as the Eskom board member who opposed the company’s Gupta capture through the board widely referred to as “the Gupta board” on which he was chairperson before being voted out.
