In 2023 AmaBhungane came into possession of documents leaked from within the Moti Group of companies belonging to the flamboyant and controversial businessman Zunaid Moti.

PetroSA

Who profited when the lights went out? The biggest beneficiary of loadshedding was the Petroleum Oil and Gas Corporation of South Africa (PetroSA). This state-owned entity has been technically insolvent for years, but thanks to diesel sales to Eskom, an aggressive push for offshore gas, and a host of politically-tainted deals, PetroSA is hoping for a comeback.
