Former Eskom CEO Tshediso Matona, who was axed as CEO of the electricity utility at the height of State Capture, revealed at the Zondo Commission of Inquiry how he was kicked out in March 2015, and how the then president, Jacob Zuma, apologised a few months later for what had happened to him.
The axing of the super-bureaucrat, five months after he had been appointed, shocked those in government who were not part of the State Capture networks and it was this which was likely to have prompted Zuma to call him to the “spaghetti” meeting. A parliamentary inquiry into Eskom revealed how Essa had helped engineer the appointment of directors with the assistance of the then public enterprises minister, Lynne Brown. He had been in business with the man who would soon become Eskom chairperson, Ben Ngubane, and with businessman Romeo Kumalo; in addition, he put family members and spouses of his friends and associates on the board.
