NATIONAL NEWS - The High Court in Pretoria has ruled that former Eskom CEO Brian Molefe did indeed resign and has been ordered to pay back money he received as part of a pension payout within 10 days.
Trade union Solidarity, also joined by other parties including the DA, approached the High Court last year seeking an order to declare that Molefe’s pension payout of R30 million as unlawful.
Molefe left Eskom in late 2016 after the then Public Protector Thuli Madonsela implicated him in suspicious dealings between The utility and the Gupta’s.
