Eskom slaps whistle-blower Suzanne Daniels with fresh charges
19 March 2018
Johannesburg - Eskom blocked whistle-blower Suzanne Daniels’s return to work on Monday, and slapped her with fresh charges of “serious misconduct”.
The decision came after the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration (CCMA) declared her previous suspension as “unfair”.
The power utility said the new charges stem from a 2017 matter, which were not covered in the recent CCMA ruling.
Daniels is accused of “distributing confidential information, settlement of the McKinsey-Trillian matter and payments made to McKinsey and Trillian, as well as her involvement in the Optimum and Tegeta prepayments and guarantee issued by Eskom,” the company said in a statement.
