Africa-Press<\/a> – South-Africa<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Pretoria – The government\u2019s chief procurement officer (CPO), Solly Tshitangano, has implored Eskom chairperson Professor Malegapuru Makgoba to probe allegations of \u201cabuse of power, suspension of rules relating to recruitment, performance management, procurement and governance processes\u201d levelled against the power utility\u2019s chief executive officer Andre de Ruyter.<\/p>\n

In a scathing letter seen by the Pretoria News, Tshitangano also urged Makgoba to live up to President Cyril Ramaphosa\u2019s commitment to report crime whenever \u201cwe see it being committed\u201d.<\/p>\n

This comes after De Ruyter was accused of appointing a service provider, Werner Mouton, to analyse fuel oil bid documents without following due process. The Eskom boss was also accused of abusing single source procurement and treating suspicious transactions differently.<\/p>\n

Tshitangano also accused Eskom chief operating officer Jan Oberholzer of \u201cgossiping\u201d about a plan to move him from procurement to compliance.<\/p>\n

The CPO said in his letter that \u201cthe plan behind my removal is to ensure that a white male is appointed as chief procurement officer\u201d.<\/p>\n

In his letter dated February 16, 2020, which the Pretoria News obtained, Tshitangano added that he was disappointed with De Ruyter because he had been expected to end a culture where corruption, nepotism and patronage were tolerated.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am very disappointed to request you to investigate the allegations of abuse of power and suspension of rules relating to recruitment, performance management, procurement and governance processes by the group chief executive of Eskom, Mr Andre de Ruyter.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought Andre will bring to Eskom a culture where corruption, nepotism and patronage are not tolerated, and where action is taken against those who abuse their power or steal public money as pointed out by the president in his 2020 State of the Nation address,\u201d Tshitangano said.<\/p>\n

Appointed as the CPO in January 2019, Tshitangano reminded Makgoba that Ramaphosa had emphasised that his administration would \u201cnot let up in the fight against corruption and state capture\u201d, would \u201cneed to work together to root out corruption and strengthen the rule of law\u201d, would \u201cnot solicit or pay bribes or engage in corrupt acts\u201d, and would instead \u201cupgrade our culture of reporting crime when we see it being committed\u201d.<\/p>\n

Eskom spokesperson Sikonathi Mantshantsha confirmed the exchange between De Ruyter and Tshitangano but said there was nothing peculiar about it.<\/p>\n

\u201cEskom can confirm the Group CEO did have discussions with Mr Tshitangano concerning the performance of the department under his leadership, as he does regularly with all Eskom executives. As is common practice in enterprises, performance discussions are held with management, and underperforming executives may not find that experience to their liking, particularly where an organisation and department is not delivering according to expectations, \u201cMantshantsha said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe chairperson of Eskom can confirm that he did receive a letter written to him by Mr Tshitangano during January 2020. The request was for the chairperson to intervene and investigate the allegations. The chairperson was familiar with most of the issues as these had been previously shared with the board.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe chairman contacted Solly Tshitangano, Andr\u00e9 de Ruyter and Human Resources group executive Elsie Pule to familiarise himself with the details of the issues. The chairperson assessed the allegations as he was familiar with most of the issues as the board had already deliberated on them.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe found there was insufficient evidence\/substance or merit to institute an inquiry. The chairman spoke to all the parties concerned and the matter was closed. He never heard from either party on these issues.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mantshantsha added: \u201cThese allegations are operational and should have been followed and addressed through the grievance systems and dispute resolution processes of Eskom, which begin with a grievance being filed. No grievance was filed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tshitangano questioned Mouton\u2019s appointment, saying it was irregular. \u201cThe process to identify and engage an expert promoted a culture where corruption, nepotism and patronage are tolerated. Andre disregarded the fairness and transparency principles. As a result, Werner was appointed and given a monthly salary of R200 000, as if he is the only expert in this country.<\/p>\n

\u201cHuman Resources assisted Andre to appoint his preferred expert, undermining the demands of equal treatment and transparency,\u201d Tshitangano added. The company was not only irregularly appointed, but submited a biased report and displayed very little understanding of Eskom processes.<\/p>\n
