EFF WELCOMES THE RESIGNATION THE GUPTA APPOINTEE BRIAN MOLEFE AS ESKOM CEO

11 November, 2016

The EFF welcomes the resignation of the Gupta appointee Brain Molefe as CEO of Eskom. The EFF welcomes this as a step forward in cleansing state institutions of all who are linked to the Zupta criminal syndicate. In the same breath, we call on the board of Eskom to also take Molefe's example and resign to save parliament the energy and time of having to do it itself. Suffice to say, if they do not, EFF will make sure that parliament dissolves them as soon as possible.

During his tenure is CEO, Molefe had the audacity to lie to parliament when asked about his relations with the Gupta family, specifically stating that he has never been to their home, when in reality he did. The Eskom board on the other hand, is an illigitimate board that should follow its mythomaniac CEO by immediately resigning so that a new board can be appointed that will further the collective interests of the country and not those of narrow gangsters like Zuma and the Guptas.
