Meanwhile, Briefly News previously reported that there are calls for suspended Eskom chief procurement officer Solly Tshitangano to be fired from his position. This comes after the officer was found to have advanced personal interests in the deal involving supplier Econ Oil.
Tshitangano is also found guilty of intentionally breaching his duty and misleading Mzansi’s power generator.
According to News24, the chairperson of his disciplinary inquiry Nazeer Cassim has submitted his ruling to the parastatal on Friday morning. The Eskom board has heard that former procurement officer Solly Tshitangano should be fired. Said Cassim:
“Tshitangano acted dishonourably and has exhibited all qualities that make him unsuitable for the position he occupies. “He declined the opportunity to deal frankly with serious allegations of misconduct. I recommend his immediate dismissal and I further recommend that Eskom take appropriate steps against all those involved improperly on the Econ Oil saga.”
