Treasury, Eskom in war of words over cooperation in coal-contract review

The National Treasury has strongly disputed Eskom’s contention that it has been cooperating with its review of coal contracts involving the Gupta-family-linked Tegeta Exploration and Resources, indicating rather that its “efforts have met resistance” from the utility. It also disputed Eskom’s assertion that the National Treasury had signed off on audits of the contracts. It also expressed surprise at Tegeta’s threat of an interdict should the department release a report into its investigation of Eskom’s coal contracts.
