Corruption Watch launched application in the high court seeking to have certain former members of the board of Eskom declared as delinquent directors.
In his founding affidavit, Lewis said the public had an interest in the proper governance and management of Eskom.
"These downgrades have had a detrimental effect on the growth of our economy and have increased the cost of living, which directly and adversely affects all South Africans and, more dramatically, the most vulnerable and poorest of South Africans," Lewis said. "The facts, which are at the heart of this application, centre on the gross negligence, mismanagement and maladministration of Eskom by the respondent directors, who were directors of the company and were responsible for the management and control of the company as per the governing prescripts of law and embodied in the Memorandum of Incorporation," Lewis said.
