DA files urgent Molefe application at High Court
15 May 2017
The Democratic Alliance (DA) has today filed an urgent two-part application with the North Gauteng High Court which has been served on Mr Molefe.
The first part of our urgent application seeks to interdict Brian Molefe from performing any duties or functions as Group Chief Executive at Eskom as well as to prevent him from receiving any benefits associated with the position.
The second part requests that the court review and set aside the reappointment of Mr Molefe as CEO of Eskom as we believe this reappointment to be irrational.
The fact that the Minister of Public Enterprises, Lynne Brown, attempts to justify this ludicrous decision by claiming that it “represents a significantly better value proposition” to paying out the obscene and possibly illegal R30 million pension benefit, simply does not hold water.
