Brown must lay charges against Eskom Trillian 'culprits' - ANC
30 August 2017
Johannesburg - The African National Congress has called on Public Enterprises Minister Lynne Brown to lay criminal charges against people implicated in the "looting" of Eskom.
This comes as Brown gave Eskom a 48-hour deadline to clarify its relationship with Trillian Capital Holdings, after it emerged that it lied about payments of more than R1.5bn to the Gupta-linked Trillian firm and consultancy firm McKinsey.
“The revelations of possible lies or cover ups and 'cook(ed) books' to hide the illegal payment to Trillian is a serious allegation,” party spokesperson Zizi Kodwa told News24.
Kodwa said the power utility is an important asset to the country’s economy and corruption cannot be made the norm.
