Cape Town - President Jacob Zuma must explain why he instructed Eskom's chairperson to launch an inquiry into the utility's performance, which led to the suspension of top executives, DA leader Helen Zille said on Thursday.
"The president’s personal intervention begs the question - what could his motives have been?" she said in a statement.
The answer perhaps lay in the fact that the suspensions "followed shortly after the Eskom executive's attempts to appoint an audit committee to oversee procurement processes for major contracts".
