Suzanne Daniels accepts 'guilt' for wasting public money while at Eskom | SheldonMorais
The heat on Daniels rose the longer the 28-minute interview rolled on, and she was forced to make damning admissions about her role in signing off on payment of Ngubane's legal fees, whether she still considered herself a credible whistleblower and why she didn't speak up sooner about impropriety at Eskom."I signed off the invoices that the services were rendered.
When pushed about the fact that she signed off on the payment when she knew she shouldn't have authorised the funds and clearly showed her guilt, Daniels said:"Well, I accept that." When McKaiser pointed out to her that she broke the law as an officer of the court, Daniels admitted that she was not meant to do this and that if they do this"they get prosecuted".
She was dismissed by Eskom in July last year, after a disciplinary hearing chaired by advocate Nazir Cassim found her guilty of serious misconduct for sharing sensitive information with a third party, her approval of Ngubane's payment and other charges.
