I doubt if they communicated much over mails etc.

You will be surprised... I earlier mentioned Anoj for a reason seeing as he told Zondo at the commission he was also duped and had no idea, yet, they mailed him before his trip to China where it was said he will receive his info pack before departure in order to familiarise himself with it, and the mail contained the inflated numbers

Not really, corruption usually entails doing the wrong thing deliberately despite you knowing better.

Matshela Koko for an example is a very competent person and a qualified engineer who can run rings around De Ruyter and many other former Eskom CEOs when it comes to institutional and operational knowledge of Eskom, him overseeing the corruption that brought Eskom to where it is today is not due to him being incompetent.

He was an excellent generation executive but not a CEO. Former CFO Anoj Singh tricked the shyt out of him.

Still of the view that bringing him back would stop loadshedding in a matter of months.

I ain't commenting on Koko's competence but I see he reckons the now groot baas was in on it all, or some of it

Ramaphosa knew about Glencore corruption, says Matshela Koko

Former Eskom bosses Brian Molefe and Matshela Koko both testified that there had been an adversarial relationship between the power utility and Glencore.

Yes, because @surface and I are geniuses we have since discovered that there is a flaw with western education that makes our people very susceptible to Asian charms, obviously Koko stood no chance against Singh, but we are working on a solution.

He wasn't an excellent executive either. He ran generation like a spaza shop and ruled with fear.

People on Mybb often struggle to differentiate between corrupt and incompetent people, I've had that discussion many times on here.

Is it necessary to differentiate when the net effect is the same, and when the common denominator is placement by ANC members?

Ahhh ok, so we have to wait for him to be found guilty then before he'll have a little cry and proclaim how he is innocent and the courts are racist and biased and its a political agenda... damn, I was hoping for some entertainment this week.

Really hope NPA has a solid case against these chaps! The argument over competent vs corrupt is moot if you realise the following: if you are incompetent and through your incompetence, corruption flourishes, you should be held to account as you were 'ignorantly corrupt'. -> 'I didn't know my CFO was hiding figures from me as I don't understand the figures myself' isn't an excuse for someone in top level management.

If you are competent and allow corruption to flourish, you should be held to account, hopefully via a more severe sentence than the former.
