Former Eskom boss Matshela Koko has been vocal about the woes confronting the state-owned power utility.

The Sunday Times reported that Koko had been allegedly implicated in the looting of millions of rands from the Kusile power plant construction project‚ an allegation he has denied.

In interviews with 702's Eusebius McKaiser and the SABC on Monday‚ Koko broke down his thoughts on the ailing power utility and its troubles. He called the claims against him"nonsensical" and said"those people who understand how Eskom works will understand that they are being thrown a dummy"."[Eskom is in] big big trouble. Eskom has a capacity problem‚ a liquidity problem and it's a mountain to fix.

We're paying for corruption, but at least jail looms for the lootersBrace yourself. There is pain awaiting you and many other ordinary South Africans in the coming years. This week the National Energy Regulator of SA announced it had approved electricity tariff increases for the next three years. This means you will now be paying more for electricity than you have ever done. Jail is the very least that can be done for the inconvenience. But the Hawks and the NPA have really let the country down - accomplices in treason. 100s of billions of rands will have been moved out of bank accounts while it's only the media holding thieves accountable. Wonder what the reason is that he is not on jail yet. As a citizen i am angry at him. Je is the reason i must pay so much for electricity. It looks like it was a big party of 'me too' at Eskom
