Business Report writes that the National Union of Metalworkers SA (Numsa) has called for Eskom’s board to resign in response to observations found in the Public Protector’s ‘State of Capture’ report.
The union said the allegations of possible corrupt activity were too serious to allow the board and CEO Brian Molefe to remain in charge of the state-owned entity. Numsa’s call follows Molefe’s announcement last Friday that he was resigning from his post at the end on December. Days later, Eskom board member Mark Pamensky also resigned. The former Cosatu affiliate, which has thousands of members at Eskom, said that far too many SOEs had become entangled in corrupt activities.
