Matshela Koko resigned from Eskom one hour before disciplinary hearing #StateCaptureInquiry
The judicial commission of inquiry into state capture continues with testimony from Eskom board chairperson Jabu Mabuza.
Maleka appears to be wrapping up Mabuza’s evidence, and asks Mabuza if he has any final thoughts/recommendations to put forward to the commission.
Mabuza reads from an email dated 11 June 2016, in which “Businessman” (determined to be Salim Essa by Mabuza/Eskom board) says he is happy with the comments of the memorandum.
Mabuza is back on the stand at the inquiry and is expected to conclude his testimony on Monday.
Koko resigned from Eskom last year before he was due to appear in a disciplinary hearing.
Mabuza reads from the holding statement emailed on 11 June 2016 to Suzanne Daniels from 'Businessman' in which he tell the chairperson he is happy with the contents of the statement. He further asked Daniels include a line. #StateCaptureInquiry
