EXCLUSIVE: Eskom finance chief ‘in the loop on Trillian pay’
Whistleblower says Singh knew, with the first invoice sent in early 2016
Eskom chief financial officer Anoj Singh has been linked directly to payments of hundreds of millions of rand to a Gupta-linked company that the power utility had previously denied knowing about. New evidence has also been unearthed on a number of trips by Singh to Dubai at the time of major deals between Gupta entities and parastatals he worked for. The Guptas picked up the tab for the trips. The latest revelations came a few days before the portfolio committee on public enterprises received briefings from the South African Council of Churches and the State Capacity Research Project on the findings of their investigations into allegations of state capture. This is in preparation for the committee’s inquiry into Eskom’s affairs.
