Public Enterprises Minister Malusi Gigaba would never support “wasteful and insensitive” behaviour and would meet officials from his department to have a R36 million Eskom party bonanza explained to him, his spokesman said on Sunday.

City Press reported that Eskom had spent R36m on parties for its staff and their families last year. Board and management team bonuses amounted to R54m last year.

The DA said it would write to the chairman of the portfolio committee on public enterprises, Peter Maluleka, to ask that Eskom chief executive Brian Dames be called before the committee to explain the spending.
