TimesLive reports that former Eskom CEO Brian Molefe, who was in the Labour Court on Thursday to challenge his dismissal from the state-owned utility, asked the court to discontinue the proceedings.
He now wants the Labour Court to refer the matter for arbitration or for trial to resolve issues he feels cannot be determined in his application to the court. Molefe was dismissed as Eskom CEO this month following his return to the power utility in May. He initially left Eskom in December 2016 after adverse findings against him in a report on state capture by former public protector Thuli Madonsela. His return in May has been challenged by the DA and the matter is due to be heard by the Pretoria High Court in August. Molefe's counsel asked Labour Court Judge Christina Prinsloo to stay the current proceedings because the court would have difficulty resolving factual matters contained in the court papers.
