South Africa’s finance minister Pravin Gordhan will order the national treasury to scrutinize all the coal-supply contracts awarded by Eskom Holdings SOC Ltd., the Sunday Times newspaper reported, citing unidentified sources.
“If it is true we will await a directive from the treasury," Khulu Phasiwe, an Eskom spokesman, said by phone Sunday. “At this stage I am not aware of any request. If the treasury would like information about the coal contracts we have, we will make the information available.”
