Cape Town â The standing committee on public accounts (Scopa) on Wednesday suspended its hearing into the annual report of Eskom to consider a process that will attend to allegations levelled against the utilityâs chief executive Andre de Ruyter.
The decision was taken by members of the committee after they received correspondence from Eskomâs chief procurement officer, Solly Tshitangano, on Tuesday.
The committee had expected Tshitangano, who is now suspended, to be part of the delegation to account for the deviations and expansion of contracts that led to irregular expenditure in the 2019/20 financial year.
