JOHANNESBURG – Venete Klein, a former Eskom board member, said he did not favor Matshela Koko over the other three executives who were suspended in 2015.
He had to answer to the state capture commission why he seemed to be interested in him and not in others.
Supreme Court Vice President Raymond Zondo asked him if he knew why Koko was the only one to get his job back when former CEO Tshediso Matona also wanted to return, but was told that was off the table.
Klein said she was part of the board’s panel that consulted with executives who were suspended.
The commission then asked him why he did everything he could to find out if there were any findings of wrongdoing against Koko when he did not ask about the other executives.
She said that she knew that Koko was the only one who told the board from the beginning that she wanted to return.
And when he met with the panel, he said his blood was blue.
But Zondo told him that even Matona went to court to get his job back, but Klein said he never heard him say he wanted to go back.
She maintained that the only reason for the suspensions was so that executives would not delay the investigation.
