The Helen Suzman Foundation has asked Public Protector Thuli Madonsela to probe Eskom, Chancellor House and the ANC following the damning Hitachi revelations.
The request follows recent claims by the United States Securities Exchange Commission about the awarding of Eskom tenders to Hitach Power Africa.
The Commission has made damning allegations against Hitachi Power Africa and Chancellor House, which include Hitachi’s efforts to get favours during the adjudication of Eskom tenders.
The Commission alleged that Hitachi sold a 25% interest to Chancellor House, the ANC’s investment arm, in order to land the lucrative contracts at Eskom’s Medupi and Kusile power stations.
Helen Suzman Director Francis Antonie says the Foundation lodged the complaint in the hope of getting a comprehensive view of what transpired with the power station tenders.
