Eskom defends integrity of Matshela Koko’s disciplinary hearing
‘It is regrettable that the events of October 20‚ where Eskom’s previous evidence leader was involved in an altercation with a journalist‚ have overshadowed the integrity of the disciplinary inquiry’
Power utility Eskom says it has noted with "great concern" reports that suspended Eskom group executive Matshela Koko’s disciplinary hearing has collapsed. "Eskom wishes to unequivocally state that this disciplinary hearing is being conducted in a fair‚ professional‚ and transparent manner‚ with the media being granted permission to attend in a matter that would ordinarily be treated as an internal matter‚" Eskom interim chairperson Zethembe Khoza said. Khoza said both the chairperson and evidence leaders were competent and independent professionals from highly regulated organisations. "It is regrettable that the events of October 20 2017‚ where Eskom’s previous evidence leader was involved in an altercation with a journalist‚ have overshadowed the integrity of the disciplinary inquiry.
