More details on Eskom’s Gupta linked coal contracts are expected to emerge on Tuesday as two more witnesses from the power utility take the stand.
Snehal Nagar and Gert Opperman from Eskom’s primary energy division will testify at the Zondo commission of inquiry into state capture on Tuesday. It is expected that their evidence will deal with the controversial Optimum coal mine deal.
Glencore executive Clinton Ephron detailed the events that led to Optimum going into business rescue, ultimately making the mine easy pickings for the Saxonwold family. It is expected that Nagar and Opperman’s evidence will deal with the origin of these penalties against Glencore and how they were calculated.
According to the report, former Eskom executive Matshela Koko paved the way for the Gupta family’s acquisition of the mine.
