Eskom has been reluctant to release the original version of the report, which details corruption, bad deals, dodgy procurement processes and the flouting of national treasury regulations.

On Wednesday, The Times reported that former Eskom manager Koos Jordaan, named as the then lead procurement negotiator, benefited from the blackouts that plagued the country.

The paper reports he was “given the job of buying more than R10 billion of emergency coal during the 2008 power crisis, negotiated several ‘irregular’ contracts – including one with a friend – and resigned shortly after an investigation was launched”.

President Jacob Zuma was apparently aware of the corruption at Eskom following a Special Investigating Unit investigation. The report was handed to him in 2014.
