This is after Tsotsi’s successor, Dr Ben Ngubane, gave evidence on Tuesday about events leading to Tsotsi’s removal on March 30 2015.

Image:The state capture inquiry's chair, deputy chief justice Raymond Zondo, says it is “concerning” that Gupta associates Nazeem Howa and Salim Essa knew 11 days before the act that Eskom board chairperson Zola Tsotsi was going to be removed.

Zondo expressed shock that Eskom outsiders had intimate details of internal happenings at the power utility, even well before they took place. This, he said, would suggest they might have been behind such developments. “That would be very concerning if somebody from within the board tells people outside of Eskom about decisions likely to be made by the board.“It is even more worrying if the position is that Mr Howa and Mr Essa were making decisions outside of Eskom that they wanted the board to take, and they had an expectation the board would take those decisions. That would mean the board is not acting independently but is manipulated by people outside.
