Former Eskom Employee Tells Zondo He Was Followed

JOHANNESBURG – Former project manager at Eskom’s Kusile power plant, Abram Masango, said on Tuesday he had been followed and a drone flew over his house twice after his appearance before the parliamentary portfolio committee and that he feels unsafe.

He has testified in the state capture commission about the suspension of Eskom executives and a plan that was hatched at the residence of former president Jacob Zuma in KwaZulu-Natal.

Masango said he also suspected that their movements or phone calls were being monitored.

The defender of the leader of the evidence Pule Seleka asked: “Since you testified in the parliamentary portfolio committee, have you been threatened and your safety compromised?”

Masango replied, “Yes, I don’t know by whom, but from time to time there were people following me and sometimes when I sit in the restaurant, people take pictures of me.
