Civil
society organisation Corruption Watch South Africa said
it has launched an application in the high court in Pretoria to have former
Eskom board members declared delinquent.
The application “focuses on the
violation of fiduciary duties and gross negligence on the part of former board
members”, the Johannesburg-based Corruption Watch said in an e-mailed statement
on Monday.
The papers name Mark Pamensky, Anoj
Singh, Brian Molefe, Venete Klein, Zethembe Wilfred Khoza and former minister
of public enterprises Lynne Brown.
Eskom
is R419-billion in debt, is loss making, has more staff than it needs and its
ageing plants can’t always produce enough power to meet declining demand.
Most
African service providers are under complaints by users for not meeting their
expectations for example in Zimbabwe users are complaining that, Econet, and
Netone are failing to provide good services especially on data bundles and this
will revolve to misuse of funds by the service providers’ board members.
Econet
and Netone’s service users are complaining that the WhatsApp data bundles are
not serving their purposes as the one week’s are only lasting for two to three
days where as the one month’s are only lasting for two weeks.
However
users of Telecel service providers are singing a different tune as the service provider
is meeting their expectations.
