Public must apply to see Dentons report - Eskom chair
7 February 2017
Johannesburg – Eskom chairperson Baldwin Ngubane refuted reports that Public Enterprises Minister Lynne Brown said the Dentons report was “inadequate”.
Ngubane was speaking during a question and answer session following a briefing on an investigation by global law firm Dentons conducted in 2015. The briefing was held at Megawatt Park on Tuesday.
The findings of the report have not been widely released, on the grounds that it contains confidential information which Eskom says it has a duty to protect. Members of the public who wish to see the report need to apply within the framework of the Promotion of Access to Information Act (PAIA).According to Ngubane, the investigation was launched to identify problem areas contributing to load shedding at the time and delays in infrastructure projects, among other things.
The investigation was halted after three months, as the board decided to implement changes recommended by Dentons as part of a turnaround strategy.
