During the testimony of former board chairperson Zola Tsotsi on Wednesday, Ngubane was said to have been part of a delegation sent to convince Tsotsi to agree to resign from Eskom.
“At some point in the evening [they] sent a delegation to come and talk to me. It was Dr Ben Ngubane and Romeo Kumalo,” said Tsotsi.
“They made a proposition that if I agree to resign, they would drop the charges against me because they did not want a prolonged and messy exchange between me and Eskom.”
Former board member at Eskom, Venete Klein, is also expected to testify at the inquiry.
