JOHANNESBURG – Former Eskom board chair Dr. Ben Ngubane said his predecessor, Zola Tsotsi, told the board that Matshela Koko was caught on camera having a sexual escapade with a co-worker, an incident that CEO Tshediso Matona did not investigate.
Ngubane has been giving reasons to the state capture commission as to why two executives were suspended and the circumstances surrounding this.
The two faced complaints of bidding and financial irregularities.
Earlier, Tsotsi told the commission that while the idea for an investigation came from Dudu Myeni at the residence of President Jacob Zuma, he always believed that the executives had done nothing wrong.
But Ngubane said it was the board that insisted the allegations were too serious not to act.
He said that at the time, the board was already doubting Tsotsi’s credibility.
“When he said that Mr. Matshela Koko was caught on camera on a sexual escapade with a co-worker at Eskom, Mr. Matona did not investigate this matter. The DF, Ms. Tsholofelo Molefe, had met with someone who was presenting the tender and had the discussion with the person during the evaluation of the tenders ”.
