'Zola Tsotsi is a bully': Eskom board battle laid bare at state capture inquiry

Tsotsi was pushed to resign from the Eskom board after his colleagues expressed a vote of no confidence against him and subjected him to a disciplinary hearing. The hearing never reached the point of issuing a verdict against Tsotsi, after an exit was negotiated to avoid a protracted tussle.

Klein said consultant Nick Linnell, who was introduced to the Eskom board by Tsotsi, was meant to coordinate the inquiry, but the press statement allegedly issued by Tsotsi claimed he would oversee the whole investigation. "Those were blatant inaccuracies that were never discussed anywhere by the board with Mr Tsotsi," charged Klein.

Tsotsi's testimony at the commission, added Klein, presenting himself as a victim, was far from the truth.
