The ANC in a statement called the decision "unfortunate and reckless".
Eskom board spokesperson Khulani Qoma on Friday confirmed that Molefe would return to work on Monday, saying that the board decided to rescind Molefe’s pension payout because Public Enterprises Minister Lynne Brown was not happy about it and decided to come up with a mutually acceptable option to offer Molefe his job back.
Brown says she will release a statement on the matter later on Friday.
Parliament, meanwhile, has confirmed that Molefe has resigned as a Member of Parliament, effective from Sunday and National Assembly Baleka Mbete has wished him well.
