DA spokeswoman on public enterprises Natasha Mazzone said Monday she would file criminal charges against Koko, slamming the disciplinary hearing as a "sham".
"Earlier this year it came to light that Koko allegedly awarded lucrative Eskom contracts, worth R1bn, to Impulse International, a company linked to his stepdaughter.
"He was also apparently involved in approving a R650m loan from Eskom to Gupta-linked Tegeta, in order to ensure that the Guptas purchased Optimum," Mazzone said in a statement.
