NATIONAL NEWS - Several days after the Democratic Alliance and trade union Solidarity went to court to nullify former Eskom CEO Brian Molefe’s R30 million pension payout, the controversy is back in the spotlight in Parliament on Tuesday.
Molefe left the power utility in November 2016 apparently in the “interest of good governance” following the release of former Public Protector Thuli Madonsela’s report on state capture.
He’s told a parliamentary inquiry that he took early retirement.
The courts have yet to rule on this matter.
Two weeks ago, Molefe told Parliament’s Public Enterprises Portfolio Committee that he did not resign from Eskom even though Minister Lynne Brown said she believed he did.
Members of Parliament have been trying to sort fact from fiction as they attempt to figure out whether rules were bent or broken when Molefe left the company.
