Former Eskom fuel resources senior manager Dr Ayanda Nteta disputed the evidence of the power utility’s erstwhile acting chief executive and board member Zethembe Khoza.

Johannesburg - Former Eskom fuel resources senior manager Dr Ayanda Nteta on Tuesday disputed the evidence of the power utility’s erstwhile acting chief executive and board member Zethembe Khoza.

Khoza suggested to the commission when he testified in December that Nteta played a key role in the awarding of a contract to supply Eskom coal to Gupta-owned Tegeta Resources and the controversial R659 million prepayment the company received from the power utility in April. She said she worked with former Eskom company secretary Suzanne Daniels because she was not sure how to prepare prepayment.She testified she was not aware that Nazeem Howa, then chief executive of another Gupta-owned company, Oakbay Investments, informed Optimum Coal business rescue practitioner Piers Marsden that Tegeta Resources had a shortfall of R600m in its purchase of the-then Glencore-owned mine.

Nteta also defended her role in Eskom’s dealings with the Gupta company, despite Optimum Coal’s business rescue practitioner indicating that they were not going to supply coal to the power utility.
