NATIONAL NEWS - Eskom’s board says charges will be pursued once it’s established who was responsible for irregular payments to Gupta linked company Trillian and consultancy firm McKinsey.
The board met on Tuesday to discuss its plan of action to deal with those who lied about the payments.
Initially, the utility claimed that payments of R1.6 billion were above board but this turned out to be a lie.
Eskom has until Thursday to explain to Public Enterprises Minister Lynne Brown its business relationship with Trillian.
In June, Brown requested Eskom’s board to clarify issues about its relationship with Trillian.
Following further revelations of impropriety this week, Brown instructed the board to table a report by Thursday.
The utility claimed that the Oliver Wyman firm found that payments to Trillian and McKinney were all above board but now say this wasn’t the case.
