I won't sleep peacefully if Ramaphosa isn't called to account, Koko tells Zondo commission
Former Eskom CEO Matshela Koko has told the commission of inquiry into state capture that it is in the public interest for President Cyril Ramaphosa to testify.
Koko appeared at the commission again on Monday.
Before the commission began its formal proceedings for the day, Koko wanted to know if Ramaphosa and the others he had implication had been issued with a notice to appear.
“I really want to know why Mr Ramaphosa interfered in the affairs of Eskom by instructing the board which was yet to meet, to dismiss me. The instruction that the labour court found to be unlawful.
“The consequences of this was in the CSIR report that, after I left Eskom, R266 billion was lost as a result of load shedding that occurred when I left. I really want to know, I will not rest peacefully until I know why the president instructed the board to dismiss me,” said Koko.
Brian Molefe, who also headed up Eskom, implicated Ramaphosa as well.
He said the President aided mining giant Glencore in the looting of Eskom and leaving it in financial chaos.
Evidence leader, Advocate Pule Seleka, said the Presidency has been given Koko's transcript and is preparing a responding affidavit.
The commission has set aside four days for Ramaphosa's testimony in April.
He is expected at the commission on April 22 and 23 and again on April 28 and 29.
