DENTONS INVESTIGATION
Three more requests for Eskom report
The new Promotion of Access to Information Act requests follow Eskom’s surprise U-turn on public access
Only three more people have petitioned Eskom to release its Dentons report in terms of Promotion of Access to Information Act (Paia) submissions. Eskom made a surprise U-turn on Tuesday and released the report only to Pieter-Louis Myburgh, DA MP Natasha Mazzone, Nicolaas Edward Blom and the South African History Archive even though the power utility had called a briefing, saying it would make the report public. Those who got the report at Eskom’s headquarters on Tuesday had made Paia submissions to access it. Eskom’s media desk said on Wednesday that only three more people had made Paia submissions asking for the report. Copies of the report would be made available as per request from the public and would be decided on a case by case basis. The final report is widely believed to be a sanitised version, with the names of senior executives implicated in Eskom’s woes blacked out.
