: Eskom chair Mpho Makwana says he is determined to fight graft at the embattled power utility and that the board wants to crack down on rent-seeking maintenance contractors. He added that Eskom has started investigating these contractors and their work patterns. He said that the board cannot probe recent allegations made by Andre de Ruyter, which alleged that criminal cartels were receiving considerable contracts, as the former CEO did not divulge any information.

Jeffrey added that the bill is not targeting any specific group of people and applies to everyone equally.
