Gupta-linked companies in spotlight at StateCaptureInquiry
Johannesburg - On Tuesday the Zondo commission heard how a former Eskom employee signed off on a deal that benefited the Guptas to the disadvantage of Eskom.
The Guptas wanted to increase the supply of coal from Brakfontein and an agreement letter was drawn by Bester. He sent the new drafted letter back to Eskom, which now contained no protection clauses for Eskom. Bester signed the letter. He said McKinsey explained away the reports and said there was bad behaviour but not to the extent reported by the media.
