Eskom Holdings said it has been ordered by the Supreme Court of Appeal to disclose details of its coal, transport and diesel procurement contracts to activist group Afriforum.

South Africa’s state power utility said in a statement late Tuesday it will take legal advice before taking any action.

Afriforum will assemble a team to scrutinise the contracts, Business Day reported on Wednesday. Eskom buys more than R70-billion of coal annually and has argued that the contracts are commercially sensitive.

The ruling could mean that all state-owned companies are obliged to disclose the details of their procurement, the Johannesburg-based newspaper said, adding that Eskom may be able to appeal to the Constitutional Court.
