Suzanne Daniels accepts 'guilt' for wasting public money while at Eskom
20 March 2019
Eskom's former head of legal and compliance Suzanne Daniels has admitted it was legally wrong for her to approve the payment of more than R800 000 for then chairperson Ben Ngubane's legal fees related to a challenge he was facing linked to his time as the chief of the SABC board.
Ngubane's performance and his hand in mismanagement of the broadcaster were subject to scrutiny during an ad hoc parliamentary inquiry in 2017.
Daniels made the admission while speaking to Radio 702's Eusebius McKaiser on Wednesday morning.
The interview initially focused on an email address which was often copied on sensitive communication between Eskom executives, including Matshela Koko, Daniels and Ngubane.
