Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Public Accounts (Scopa), Mkhuleko Hlengwa, has apologised to Eskom board member Busisiwe Mavuso for mishandling her contribution during a parliamentary inquiry into Eskom.

During the meeting, Hlengwa came under fire and got into a heated argument with Mavuso. Mavuso chose to leave the meeting after the argument.

The Democratic Alliance has called on National Assembly Speaker Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula to investigate Hlengwa’s conduct.“To deny her the opportunity to explain herself denies those of us who are spectating from the sidelines from understanding whether the challenges at Eskom are purely the results of administrative or they are the results or they are indeed political issues. Bearing in mind that this was not the first time she raised the issue of political interference in the work of Ekom.

“And I submit that yes we must and should be held accountable for the decisions that we have made during our tenure, but unfortunately there are things that we can not answer to, and not because we don’t want to but because they pre-date this board and that is a fact.” “So there is no way I can answer to Medupi and Kusile without referring to the history. So you see you do not ask questions if you don’t want to hear the answer, and he didn’t want to hear my answer then he shouldn’t have gone into that meeting and framed the meeting the way he framed it,” explains Mavuso.Share article

Ayibhadlanga le, he's an ANC agent defending corruption, it doesn't mean that White lawyers is competent either, he's not technical, he's a lawyer, ANC backed Foreigner 'izinyoka' are not helpful thing either...

In other countries gender activism will have blew a fuse, but the so called gender activism in this country sing for their supper. Mkhuleko should have know that, you can't defend Anc, if someone attacks anc you join them, no matter you know why cause of the attack

Ryt thing u hv done Mr Chair n on wht Madam Mavuso said somebody mst b heldresponsible billions r gone who mst pay those figures?tax payers, ANC or de Guptas?we need tht money is high tym it mst work 4 tax payers,Medupi n Kusile power stations is been years till now sing de same

It shows why anc got away with state capture. And still there no one who is accountable.

I think there are other issues between the two

We they're tactics,they bully you in order not to talk especially the truth, we are in this mess because of ANC government So le nkwenkwe try to defend political party...Fool. He must take his apologies shav it to his ass

Pensioner politics and liberalism have swallowed a young politician with potential,the only thing keeping him from being totally buried is his ethnic identity which he associates with his political affiliations,nothing else!

Stupid man🤣🤣🤣
