Eskom’s reputation head says he was shocked when board appointed Matshela Koko
Khulani Qoma told Parliament suspended interim CEO Koko was very compromised and that it was totally out of place for minister Lynne Brown to have approved this
Suspended Eskom head of generation Matshela Koko has a relationship with the truth that does not seem to be “very close”, Eskom’s reputational manager Khulani Qoma said in Parliament on Tuesday. Qoma, who is also a spokesperson for the Eskom board, said he was shocked when the board, with the endorsement of Public Enterprises Minister Lynne Brown, appointed Koko as interim group CEO at a time when the power utility’s reputation had taken a knock. Qoma told the inquiry into state capture by Parliament’s public enterprises committee that Koko was very compromised and had been flagged in the media as having no ethics. He believed it was totally out of place for Brown to have approved Koko’s appointment.
