Solidarity to lay criminal charges against Molefe and others tomorrow
5 February 2018
Tomorrow, trade union Solidarity will lay criminal charges with the National Prosecuting Authority, the Hawks and the SAPS against former Eskom CEO, Brian Molefe and other Eskom high-ranking officials. This comes in the wake of, among other things, a condemnatory finding by a full bench of the North Gauteng High Court in terms of which criminal prosecution is justified.
In its finding the court referred to the pure greed, impenitence and lack of integrity displayed by Eskom’s leadership.
The court also found that the unlawful pension scheme was a deliberate scheme devised by Eskom and Molefe.
The court ordered that all monies granted to Molefe in terms of this unlawful pension scheme and the sums already paid out to him be paid back.
