In his previous appearance on the Zondo commission, former Eskom executive Matshela Koko insisted that he had no idea he was sharing internal Eskom information with Gupta’s associate, Salim Essa, when he sent documents to an email address. of the information portal that belonged to the employer. .

Among the documents Koko sent to Essa’s email address was information about the R1.68bn loan guarantee Eskom advanced for Gupta-owned Tegeta to acquire Optimum Coal Mine.

According to Koko, Eskom’s then-company secretary Suzanne Daniels had told her that the email belonged to Eskom’s chairman of the board, Ben Ngubane.

But the chairman of the commission, Supreme Court Vice President Raymond Zondo, was not convinced by Koko’s story, which he believes doesn’t add up. This is because Daniels has again denied that she was responsible for Koko sending information to Eskom to an email belonging to a stranger.

Daniels also denounced Koko’s version on Tuesday that she at that time printed the documents sent to the Ngubane information portal and the three would have meetings based on them.
