Parliament’s standing committee on public accounts (Scopa) has postponed the meeting with the Eskom board, public enterprises minister Pravin Gordhan and presidential security advisor Sydney Mufamadi to deal with corruption at the power utility.
The meeting was due to take place Wednesday to address the allegations of corruption at Eskom made by its former CEO Andre de Ruyter.
Committee chairperson Mkhuleko Hlengwa said in a statement the postponement was due to the unavailability of some of the people required for the meeting.
Gordhan is on official business in China, the Eskom board has requested additional time and Mufamadi is also on official business abroad.
