Economic Freedom Fighters has called for the immediate removal of Eskom COO Jan Oberholzer for allege corruption and nepotism, the party has threatened to occupy the power utility if he’s not removed.
In a statement on Tuesday 14 July, EFF said it’s has been vindicated that the farce report that cleared Oberholzer is subjected to public scrutiny.
The EFF said Oberholzer is a shareholder of Steffanutti Stocks firm which allegedly defrauded Eskom of a sum of up to R2 billion. The party claims he is part of a syndicate looting Eskom for personal benefit, as well as those associated with him.
“Further to the reports that he was part of transactional engagements between his company Steffanutti Stocks and Eskom as the COO on at least three occasions, Oberholzer also stands accused of operating against the financial interests of Eskom by procuring the services of labour broker Black and Veatch, paint them an obscene amount which increased from R2.4 billion to R14 billion since 2008.”
“The EFF calls for the immediate removal and should Jan Oberholzer not be removed as Eskom COO immediately; the EFF will occupy Eskom offices and rescue them from being used by criminals who are working against the light,” it said.
