DA spokeswoman on public enterprises, Natasha Mazzone, said it was outrageous that after only 18 months as chief executive at the power utility‚ Molefe would be awarded such an exorbitant bonus.
“Especially after he resigned of his own accord‚ following his naming in the damning state of capture report by the former public protector‚ Advocate Thuli Madonsela‚” Mazzone said.
She said she would be writing to the public protector‚ Busisiwe Mkhwebane‚ to request that she probe the payout.
“It is unacceptable that taxpayer money is repeatedly used to benefit underperforming executives who do not deserve it‚ while vital infrastructure projects are left to gather dust,” Mazzone said.
