NATIONAL NEWS - The portfolio committee on public enterprises tasked with uncovering the rot of state capture at Eskom will not interrogate all the ‘big fish’ tomorrow, as only Home Affairs Minister Malusi Gigaba has confirmed attendance.
Ministerial spokesperson Mayihlome Tshwete, together with chairperson Zukiswa Rantho, confirmed Gigaba would be in the committee room at 9.30am tomorrow in the parliamentary precinct in Cape Town.
“The minister is coming. He does not have a problem appearing before the committee. This is very good because we will be dealing with the matter once and for all. It is good that he is taking responsibility and coming through,” Rantho said.
“Yes, absolutely, the minister will be in parliament tomorrow appearing before the committee,” Tshwete said in a terse telephonic response.
The three other key witnesses implicated in the mismanagement of state funds at the public power utility will not be present, and almost all of them have informed Rantho through the committee secretary they would not be attending.
