Eskom Holdings gave the SA Reserve Bank incomplete and inaccurate information about the loan, meaning it was unable to make a properly informed decision on whether to give it the go-ahead, Sincedile Shweni, a corporate specialist at the utility’s treasury department, said at the judicial commission of inquiry in Johannesburg on Monday. Had the correct information been supplied, the deal would have fallen through, he said.

PaulivW They do know this loan will have to be paid back or as documented this is how China takes over a country. Or will they hold SA to ransom again w/load shedding when we decide not to pay. Any IMF/China loan is the worst kind of cancer it never ends well. Our_DA StephenGrootes

Reserve Bank can be deceived? Me thinks they were in on it

The names of the people involved and those who benefited must be named, payback and rot in jail. Now freebies for them, they must work in jail. SAns suffered because of their greed

The liver! Defraud even the reserve bank, they have no limits!

PaulivW Hopefully Eskom will be running properly under Chinese ownership. 🙄

JAIL JAIL JAIL! Good heavens when will this shit end?

I don't think our Brics allies can do something like this

MakopoK There was never any deceit, thats how foreigners milk our country with the help of the stupid capitalist politicians

Break it up into 3 to 4 separate entities and get it privatised. HoldingSABack.

If all these senior treasury officials knew how wrong this deal are why are they still at Eskom? Can you imagine what else they are letting through or have let through while knowing it’s wrong....

Oh Lynne Brown is so gullible I mean who in their right mind contravenes the SARB act or policies? She might as well get ready to wear orange overalls
