McKinsey is reviewing hundreds of thousands of documents related to Eskom, as part of a probe by the US consultancy that includes any interactions with Trillian Capital Partners, a company linked to the Gupta family. Eskom is conducting its own investigation of work done by Trillian Capital, to which the utility said it paid R495m as part of a corporate plan and turnaround programme. Eskom interim chairperson Zethembe Khoza said last week that Trillian worked for McKinsey as a subcontractor, which McKinsey denies. The investigation "involves a detailed review of our client interactions and work at Eskom since 2012", and interactions with supply-development partners over the past three years, McKinsey said on Wednesday in an e-mailed response to questions. Law firm Norton Rose Fulbright was helping with the probe.
