During the interview on Monday, Koko reiterated this position. “I have never communicated with Salim Essa on any of his emails. I have never …“I never talked to Salim Essa. I talked to the chairman of Eskom,” he said. He conceded that Eskom is in “big big trouble”, but added: “Since 2002 Eskom has been declining. It did not start declining in 2015 and 2016.”

Former CEO Matshela Koko refuses to take blame for Eskom crisisSpeaking on the 'Eusebius McKaiser Show' on Monday, Koko says said he was the victim of the corruption at Eskom. Why would he refuse after eating so much money 💰 in South Africa 🇿🇦 Why would he take the blame he knows that he can ride this out for years without consequences. This is SA you can do what you want and just shrug your shoulders when it fucks out. Like all the implicated ANC members they refuse to accept any blame...

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
