Oberholzer must be suspended, pending a disciplinary process, the party maintains, as he is a shareholder of Stefanuttie Stocks, a company accused of benefitting in overpayments during the construction of Kusile Power Station.
In a relentless attempt to highlight allegations of impropriety against Eskom chief operating officer Jan Oberholzer, the EFF will be opening a criminal case against the COO and will approach the court for an order to compel the power utility to act against the COO.
A disciplinary process be initiated in order to enable proper ventilation of this issue to be determined in a disciplinary hearing. More so, having in mind the intervention of representatives of the Zonodo Commission who have made, it would appear, certain preliminary findings on this very issue. Eskom must factor into consideration that such payment is presently part of litigation between Eskom and Aveng.
“We cannot understand why Eskom has mounted such a spirited defence of Oberholzer and the only conclusion we can arrive at is that it is his white skin that protects him. For far too long, the media and big companies have driven an agenda that seeks to make corruption synonymous with black people. White people are allowed to loot without consequences. Oberholzer is a beneficiary of this twisted logic, which benefits white thieves and protects them from censure.
