LETTER: Eskom claims backed by sources are no truer than any other allegation
The Business Day article titled "Eskom ‘ignored’ evidence in Koko case", published on April 7, is a clear example of media abuse. Though safely ensconced in the comfort of media freedom, it is corrosive to interim group CEO Matshela Koko, and the board. The fact that these allegations emanate from sources does not make them more credible than downright allegations. But they are a proverbial wrecking ball against individuals and the overall Eskom brand. Our grievance, which we believe is justified, stems from the fact that Eskom was rendered unable to fully plead its case ahead publishing, due to the current investigation. This has undoubtedly resulted in the unvarnished ascendancy of the pre-determined story angle, which is decidedly negative to Eskom.
