Koko told the state capture commission on Thursday that President Cyril Ramaphosa interfered in the utility's decision to dismiss him.
The interference took place between 2012 and 2014, when Ramaphosa was still deputy president and chair of Optimum coal mine. Koko alleged that this interference was motivated by an outstanding R1.4bn penalty fee due to Eskom by Optimum, which Koko was pushing to recover. In his testimony, Koko stated that he was alerted by the then deputy director-general and deputy public enterprises minister of the impending dismissal by then-deputy president Ramaphosa and the new board.Unconsciously or consciously, your investigators are following people and not the evidence. If they were, different people would be sitting where I am sitting,” he told the inquiry. Eskom penalties of over a billion [rand], and they never explained [why the money was not paid],” Koko said.
Koko said he received a call one day while he was at the office, alerting him of the impending statement by Ramaphosa — a media statement announcing his dismissal.he got home — driving between Centurion and Johannesburg — his dismissal and a new board

Matshela Koko is a lier.
This prepaid president is corrupt to the core. If this is not political interference then what is? This is TREASON! Cyril went over the head of PresJGZuma AND Lynne Brown who was Public Enterprises Minister at the time. CyrilMustGo MorningLiveSABC SakinaKamwendo eNCA
Now lets Call Cyril Ramaphosa to the StateCaptureCom for him to answer to these claims and a lot of other things long overdue
Wasn't President Ramaphosa the Chairman of Optimum which did business with Eskom at that time?
More importantly, Ramphosa's company was doing business with Eskom when he was Deputy President and leader of government business which includes oversight of Eskom.
So what!!! He sold out for curry mos

In other words what ever you did was right, if he did not interfere anyway you were going to continue with what is alleged you have done
Koko was an efficient guy, Eskom fared better under him and Molefe. Even Hlaudi left SABC with R8 billion in excess. Perhaps it's time to call the current climate exactly what it is rather than fighting the battle on behalf of capital and their enlisted sympathisers.
IndWorldThinker Now will the president apply for cross examination
Is this enquiry still about getting Zuma?🤣😅. Gape there are casualties along the way. People catching stray bullets
Can't wait to hear Cyril's response to Mr Koko's allegations. Koko was very articulate & meticulous with detail such that the Commission's Evidence Leader was left immobilized and pathetic. The Chair had to come to his rescue.....
It's not a secret...what did 'leader of government business mean?'? 'The court found that Koko's attempted dismissal was in fact due to a directive from the Presidency a few days earlier, instructing the utility to remove tainted executives.'
He is a part of RET faction, he had to find something which can make Thuma Mina faction looks bad. He is politicking period.
Why not 'cyril interfered with decision to dismiss Koko.' ? Like how you always go with accusations
A lier face.
Thats a watered down version, he directly implicated Cyril in state capture. But because his your favorite you won't report it as is. Oh and he had evidence at the hearing.
So Mr Matamela is also corrupt? Yooh ANC ... wats wrong?
When you called lying on Carte Blanche and struggle to recoup after realising you being cornered, he will do and say anything to prolong the inevitable but the proof is there it just needs to be laid on the table of how much this guy cost SA and ESKOM with his chronies.
SundayTimesZA is this not damning Evidence as you normally report when revelations are not about your favorites?
So he wanted to continue, sies man
Isn't it the reason that your ThumaMinaMediaGroup journalists were vilifying him. The dots are connecting nicely with facts on the table neh!?
This is why Ramaphosa must appear before the commission as well. He was a head of war room to deal with Eskom
thats why they removing you
He must tell us how his step daughter scored the big contracts!
“The story is developing...” update the story please
He was a disaster. Dismissing him was way to soft. Now he should go to jail
What do expect from gupta agent
REC brigade
Didn't he resign? Before the hearing
Booom💣
After awarding his daughter a stationary tender he expects us to believe his hogwash
🤣😂😅 it would be better for you not to comment. What do you call this?
I ll also interfere, this man is one of the greatest mind in south africa.
Ramaphosa must be called to testify
Koko thinks by blaming others he will be freed of his own wrongdoing, maybe this is just another fictional ideology of a state captured engineer? Put evidence Bhuti! Hehe.
TDeRuyterMustFall
Many people will struggle trusting this guy, but the proof shall prevail. Some may be disturbed by his mention of Molefi as having been good at Eskom🤔
It only matters if it is zuma
Deputy President was directly involved in firing Eskom staff instead of board....this is a real state capture koko_matshela KOKO Koko
Fraud and corruption today, you steal and blame others for calling you out, deny deny deny deny,🤔🤫 incase I incriminate myself
He's lying.
So much for the nonsense you guys have been saying about this homourable gentleman. He came with facts, not the hogwash you're feeding us everyday
President Ramaphosa must be awarded opportunity to present his side of the story the commission. StateCaptureCom please invite the president
Masenkeng CyrilRamaphosa and ThumaMinaMediaGroup this side
High ranking Gupta lieutenant MatshelaKoko just loves playing the victim 'Unfortunately', since it was cyrilramaphosa who supposedly had a hand in his dismissal, Koko cannot pull out the race card.. StateCaptureInquiry
Hayi yiFilim This running in circles is annoying , what’s the way forward 😩
That's ok.
That will be tested when he has finished his second term of office, for now nobody has powers to interrogate him.
Wasn’t CR chair of the Eskom War Room during that period?
He gives us evidence unlike media houses that spread propaganda
You sure it was not Jan van Riebeeck who interfered?
