BusinessLive reports that former Eskom CE Brian Molefe has turned to the courts to fight his dismissal, which he wants declared unlawful and void.
He lodged a notice of motion in the Labour Court at the weekend, notifying the power utility and Public Enterprises Minister Lynne Brown that he would lodge his urgent application in the court on Monday. Molefe’s court bid is the latest development in the saga of his employment contract that has seen him leave Eskom twice in six months — once voluntarily and once under duress. The Eskom board announced on Friday that Molefe was no longer group CE, days after Brown instructed it to rescind his appointment. Molefe was reinstated as Eskom CE in May, after Brown voiced her displeasure with the board’s decision to pay him a R30m golden handshake for the 18 months he worked at the utility. Meantime, the DA has turned to the court in a bid to have Molefe’s re-appointment in May set aside.
