JOHANNESBURG – Former Eskom CEO Matshela Koko said on Thursday that he never called his colleagues to meetings with Salim Essa at Melrose Arch and insisted that the ones he met personally are the ones he did call.
He said all witnesses, including former Kusile project director Abram Masango, lied in the state’s capture investigation.
He added that Masango was trying to deflect his own corruption charges.
“What he did not tell them is that he is out on bail of R300,000 on charges of fraud and corruption that I initiated for me.”
Koko said that he mentored Masango and trusted him, but never called him to Melrose Arch or introduced him to Essa.
He admitted that he met Susan Daniels three times, but said they were alone and that Essa was not there.
“I cannot deny that Susan met Salim Essa on her own and the four suspension letters originated by Susan and edited by Salim Essa point to a relationship as of the day they are dated March 10.”
He said he called Nonkululeko Veleti and told him he was at Melrose Arch, but that was it.
“He also says that I told him that he will act in the DF position, he is wrong.
Koko said that all these executives and the media have lied about him, including that he gave his daughter a 1 billion rand contract.
It will be back in the spotlight next week.
