Damning details about inflated coal deals‚ executives bent on self-enrichment and politically connected contractors are contained in the secret law firm report into the mess at Eskom.
Eskom decided this week not to release the controversial report‚ drawn up by US law firm Dentons.
But some of the report’s findings were revealed on Thursday by the Financial Mail.
Dentons produced an explosive interim report in May 2015 to the board of the parastatal – implicating executives and top managers who allegedly diverted contracts for personal enrichment. They included coal and logistics deals.
In one case‚ R4.2-million worth of coal from a nearby mine ended up costing R13.4-million after additional costs were added to the amount owed.
One version of the report – the result of a probe that was never finished – which named guilty parties was recalled from all who saw it and then destroyed.
The report also raised questions about Eskom’s rationale for load-shedding – which plunged the country into a crisis. – TMG Digital
