JOHANNESBURG – Former Eskom board member Zethembe Khoza said on Wednesday that he supported the suspension of executives at the utility because he believed the instructions came from then-chairman Jacob Zuma.
Khoza told the state’s capture inquiry commission that former board chairman Zola Tsotsi only mentioned that the instructions came from Zuma, but never said they came from Dudu Myeni, the former president of South African Airways (SAA). .
Tsotsi and consultant Nicholas Linell said they were invited by Myeni to Zuma’s residence in KwaZulu-Natal and that she chaired the meeting and spoke most of the time.
But Khoza said he didn’t know.
“The president at that time, Mr. Tsotsi, did not mention where the information came from because if it was known that it was from Dudu Myeni, who did not work for Eskom, the debate was going to be quite different,” Khoza said.
“However, it seemed to him that it was information that he believed came from the shareholder and president.”
