On his second day of testifying at Parliament's Eskom State Capture Inquiry, Khoza was asked for the evaluation by IFP MP Narend Singh.

"Mr Khoza, you have been on the board for some time now - if you were to rate governance at Eskom one to ten - with ten being the best and one being hopeless - where would you rate the governance in the last three years," Singh asks.

"In the last two years, maybe around three. This is taking into account the turnover of chairpersons and at executive level that has taken place," Khoza responds. 

"Governance at three out of ten - I rest my case," Singh says.

Earlier, the Public Enterprises Portfolio Committee said it was going to subpoena Deputy Public Enterprises Minister, Ben Martins to testify. 

Artins has refused to appear at the inquiry, saying there's no need for him to give evidence in person.

The inquiry has wrapped up for now with the chairperson thanking the evidence leader and MPs for their hard work. 

It will resume in the new year.
