Business Report writes that Eskom staff on Tuesday called an impromptu meeting, demanding that outgoing chief executive Brian Molefe should withdraw his resignation.  

Molefe resigned last week in the “interest of Eskom and the public it serves” following the release of former Public Protector Thuli Madonsela’s “State of Capture” report which implicated him in wrongdoing involving multi-million rand coal contracts with a Gupta-owned company.  In an emotionally charged meeting, staff were crying and pouring their hearts out as to why Molefe should remain.  Eskom spokesperson Khulu Phasiwe said staff vowed to petition the Eskom board and the Minister of Public Enterprises to rescind Molefe’s resignation.
