Matshela Koko allegedly used his influence to lobby the utility's Majuba power station to accept substandard coal from the Gupta's Brakfontein mine.

"I received a phone call from Koko asking me that I must please engage the Majuba power station to accept this product. I then engaged my senior at the time‚ [Vuyisile] Ncube‚ and I asked him what must I do. This is now an instruction that I must perform outside the mandate of the contract. He encouraged me to engage the power station‚" he said.

When I received this call‚ firstly I was extremely surprised that Koko phoned me‚ and then I get this instruction to do it "No‚ it was not usual‚" said Opperman."The intent was for me to engage the power station and get the power station approval to accept this coal … The boundary of the contract does not allow me to approve dispatch of this product."

"My viewpoint from the onset was not to go along with it. That’s why I was firm when I told Roux we cannot move this coal. For me that was the end of it. I never ... envisaged there would be some call from somewhere to deal with it differently.

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

Now you are very quite. For your sake I hope you get a single cell in prison. Fin24 As an engineer surely you would have understood that the plants require a certain specification for the coal?
