Final report: Forensic investigation into various allegations at EskomCHAPTER III OF THE INVESTIGATIONS: ESKOMEXECUTIVE SUMMARY1.THE CSA BETWEEN TEGETA AND ESKOM1.1.Mboweni, Koko, Nteta and Mabelane contravened the provisions of theMedium Term Mandate and section 57(c) of the PFMA in that they concludedor caused to be concluded, a CSA with an entity which was not 50% 1 at thetime of conclusion.1.2.Samples collected by Eskom on June 2014 showed that only Seam 4 lower fromBrakfontein complied with the requirements Eskom’s specifications for theMajuba Power Stations. Seam 4 upper from Brakfontein did not comply withEskom’s specificationsAdjustment of CSA duration1.3.Eskom officials increased the duration of the CSA from five (5) years to ten (10)years, without consultations with legal and the Senior General Manager,Primary Energy Division, Mboweni.1.4.There is no evidence that the Eskom Executives who concluded the coal supplyagreement between Eskom and Tegeta obtained approval to procure beyondthe lifespan of the Medium-Term Mandate from the Board.1.5.Nteta gave preferential treatment to Tegeta by emailing an editable template ofa CSA for inputs.1.6.The conclusion of the CSA with Tegeta prior to conducting successfulcombustion tests was irregular;1.7.Eskom continued with blended tests even after various coal analysis results inrespect of the blended coal samples, indicated that the blended coal was notsuitable for Majuba power station.1.8.Nteta, Bester and any role player may have contravened section 34 ofPrevention and Combating of Corrupt Activities Act.SABS – testing of new samples1.9.Koko’s conduct in preventing Eskom’s employees from observing theresampling and retesting processes compromised the transparency of the saidprocesses as none of the Eskom officials observed the sampling process.1.10.The coal samples of 29 August 2015 that passed the SABS analysis wastransported from Brakfontein mine by Mpumamanzi.Page ii

Final report: Forensic investigation into various allegations at Eskom1.11.The samples tested by SABS on 29 August 2015 were not from Brakfontein minedue to the significant difference in the samples tested on 29 September 2015and 6 September 20151.12.The integrity of SABS tests results of 30 August 2015 are brought to question inthat there are discrepancies in the number of sample bags recorded inMpumamanzi’s report and the SABS delivery notes.1.13.By allowing Brakfontein parties to observe the analysis of the coal samples,SABS contravened their own policies and procedures.1.14.Koko suspended the Tegeta CSA on 31 August a day after he received theSABS’s results on the Brakfontein Coal quality testing which was done on 29August 2015 and the results thereof provided to Eskom on 30 August 2015.Coal Deliveries from Brakfontein Mine1.15.Eskom officials gave Tegeta preferential treatment in that they were allowed tocommence coal deliveries without any confirmation by Eskom that Tegeta’scoal was compliant with CSA’s coal quality requirements;1.16.Tegeta failed to meet their quarterly planned quantity requirements, during2015.2.OPTIMUM COAL HOLDINGS2.1.Eskom management prejudiced Glencore by refusing to sign the negotiatedCSA, giving advantage to Tegeta to acquire all assets in OCH and whichamounted to the abuse of a position of authority, a breach of trust, and aviolation of a legal duty or a set of rules in terms of the Prevention andCombating of Criminal Activities Act.2.2.Eskom management prejudiced Glencore by fining OCM R2.1 billion forsupplying allegedly poor-quality coal, which prejudice which amounted to theabuse of a position of authority, a breach of trust, and a violation of a legal dutyor a set of rules in terms of the Prevention and Combating of Criminal ActivitiesAct.2.3.Eskom was prejudiced by the reduction of R2,1 billion penalty imposed forsupplying allegedly poor coal quality which amounted to the abuse of aposition of authority, a breach of trust, and a violation of a legal duty or a setof rules in terms of the Prevention and Combating of Criminal Activities Act.2.4.Eskom acted in bad faith when the Company, represented by Koko, refused towaiver the historical penalties levied against OCM which led to OCM goingPage iii

It is improbable that the said e-mail was the firsttime that Koko learnt about the Tegeta prepayment.3.3.Eskom’s Special Board Tender Committee (“SBTC”) meeting of 11 April 2016rubber stamped the conditions and terms of the prepayment that were agreedby Eskom and Tegeta officials.3.4.The SBTC approved the Tegeta prepayment request on 11 April 2016 in ameeting held by teleconference at 21:00;3.5.The SBTC approved the prepayment before the Tegeta shareholders took aresolution to request the prepayment and provide guarantee, which resolutionwas taken on 13 April 2016;3.6.Nteta drafted the letter that was used by Tegeta on 11 April 2016 as an offer tosupply additional coal to Eskom;3.7.Singh and or Eskom did not negotiate the 3.5% discount as the said discountwas offered by Tegeta prior to the BTC’s approval of the prepayment;3.8.Singh misrepresented facts to the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on PublicEnterprises when he indicated that he negotiated the 3.5 % discount as thedocuments indicate that he did not do so.3.9.Koko misrepresented facts to the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on PublicEnterprises (refer paragraph 114 of his statement to the Committee) when heindicated that Eskom negotiated the 3.5 % discount as the documents indicatethat it was Tegeta that offered the said discount.3.10.Eskom suffered a loss because it paid R19.68 per gigajoule for six months andlater offered R15,50 per gigajoule for the same coal.3.11.Eskom’s SBTC gave Tegeta preferential treatment in that an urgent SBTC wasscheduled and took place at 21:00, with the sole purpose of approving the R659million prepayment to Tegeta.Page iv
