Eskom should be ashamed

-

I have been keenly following the Eskom shenanigan­s, its disciplina­ry inquiries and the inquiry held at Parliament (Eskom case closes after witnesses fail to testify, November 27).

Eskom should hang its head in shame — it epitomises everything that has gone wrong with SA’s parastatal­s and the government.

SA has been left in disarray by the way in which the government and its officials have behaved over many years.

In the parliament­ary inquiry, I have watched with keen interest how MPs have cross-examined the witnesses. The evidence has been dynamite.

In particular, I want to applaud DA MP Natasha Mazzone, who has been superb in her concise and effective cross-examinatio­n. I have been practising law since I was admitted as an advocate in 1982. I have over those many years tried to hone my skills, yet Mazzone has taught me a lot about effective cross-examinatio­n.
