Ex-Transnet, Eskom CFO Anoj Singh no-show at disciplinary hearing
13 November 2019
Former Transnet and Eskom chief financial officer, Anoj Singh, was a no-show at the start of his disciplinary hearing on Wednesday morning in Johannesburg.
Singh is facing charges of misconduct and gross negligence instituted against him by the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants. No legal representative for Sigh was present on Wednesday. Presiding Officer Mohamed Chohan told the hearing that Singh had pleaded not guilty.
The panel resolved to go ahead with the proceedings which have been set down for three days.
Singh was in 2009 appointed acting chief financial officer for Transnet, a position that was made permanent in 2012. In 2015 he left Transnet for Eskom. He was placed in special leave in July 2017 and suspended later that year. He resigned from the power utility in January 2018. Singh has previously denied being involved in corruption, and has denied having personal links to the Gupta family.
