Eskom board member Busisiwe Mavuso was asked to leave a meeting with Parliament's Standing Committee on Public Accounts on Friday after blaming the ANC-led government for the 'mess' at the power utility.
Eskom board member Busisiwe Mavuso, at a meeting with Scopa, said the mess at the power utility was caused by the ANC-led government.The ministry of public enterprises called her comments"regrettable" and her conduct"unbecoming" as a board member of Eskom.
"It is unfortunate that Ms Mavuso brought party political issues in a process where SCOPA, as a Committee of Parliament, was exercising its oversight responsibilities."Scopa visited various Eskom facilities over the past two days as part of its oversight duties. Scopa, led by chairperson Mkhuleko Hlengwa, met with de Ruyter, Eskom's management and board members on Friday.
"... Because the reality of the matter is that this is not our mess. We have been brought in to clean it up. But we are not going to be the fall guy for the R300-and-whatever billion of Medupi and Kusile, that have still not being completed." Hlengwa then berated Mavuso for engaging in"theatrics" following"decent" interactions Scopa had with Eskom board chairperson Prof Malegapuru Makgoba over the past two days.
