The ANC has rejected a DA proposal to set up a dedicated ad hoc committee to investigate the allegations of fraud, corruption and sabotage at Eskom made by former CEO André de Ruyter and in intelligence reports.
Steenhuisen said that “only a parliamentary inquiry can give a proper platform and protection to those innocent people who know what is happening at Eskom and who have been threatened and subdued into silence by the connected syndicates that extend right into the upper reaches of government. Intelligence reports, Steenhuisen said, linked two senior cabinet members to these cartels which they controlled.
Magaxa said it was the responsibility of the Eskom board and law enforcement agencies to tackle corruption and the role of the portfolio committees of mineral resources and energy, public enterprises and Scopa were well capacitated to exercise oversight over the Eskom task team.
