South African Lawmakers Refer Eskom Chairmen for Criminal Probe

(Bloomberg) -- South African lawmakers referred the names of three former chairmen of the country’s state-owned power utility to law-enforcement agencies after they found the individuals conducted themselves unethically and possibly criminally during their time at the producer.

Zola Tsotsi, Ben Ngubane and Zethembe Khoza, together with former Eskom Holdings SOC Ltd. Chief Executive Officers Brian Molefe and Matshela Koko, are among the names that parliament’s portfolio committee on public enterprises is asking the Directorate of Priority Crime Investigation to focus its probe on, it said in a report released Wednesday.
