Paul O'Sullivan: Ex-Eskom chair Tsotsi provides State Capture's "smoking gun"

Loading player...
Former Eskom chairman Zola Tsotsi dropped a proverbial State Capture bomb in South Africa's Parliament this morning. His statement to the investigating committee unpacks how he was bullied by the Guptas and State Enterprises minister Lynne Brown, and implicates president Jacob Zuma in an identical manner to that what was previously explained by whistle-blowing ANC politicians Vytjie Mentor and Mcebisi Jonas. The former Eskom chairman Tsotsi says Zuma was in the room when the chair of his foundation and former chair of SAA Dudu Myeni instructed Tsotsi to toe the plunderers' line or be dismissed. Forensic investigator Paul O'Sullivan has been closely following events and unpacks the relevance of Tsotsi's statement, which was made under oath. He reckons this is the "smoking gun" which will bury the Guptas and their puppets, and, he avers, very possibly end the Zuma presidency.
