We want answers about KPMG’s findings on Eskom, Cosatu’s Sizwe Pamla says
Cosatu has once again called for the removal and investigation of the Eskom board, for alleged corruption and wasteful expenditure. The labour federation says the cash crisis at Eskom, as reported by the Sunday Times at the weekend, and "other shenanigans" at the power utility "make a mockery" of the ANC’s commitment that it would ensure state-owned entities (SOEs) were powerful instruments of economic transformation. In a statement issued on Tuesday, Cosatu spokesperson Sizwe Pamla said it also wanted answers regarding the findings made by audit firm KPMG, which showed that Eskom paid an inflated advance amounting to R600m to Chinese firm Dongfang, to provide a new boiler at Duvha power station in Mpumalanga.
