During an interim results briefing at Megawatt Park yesterday, Molefe stated that the allegations leveled against him were baseless.
The former Public Protector Thuli Madonsela’s report, which was released on Wednesday, is scathing of the conduct of Eskom, saying the state utility made certain deals with Tegeta to put the Optimum coal mine out of business.
At first, Molefe made light of the evidence contained in the State of Capture report about cellphone calls between him and the Guptas and that he was “placed” at their residence in Saxonwold.
“I walked into the office and I said to Chose (Choeu): ‘The Public Protector says I was in Saxonwold 14 times'. Chose says that it’s nothing. He says there’s a shebeen there.”
