Public protector to probe Brian Molefe’s R30m ‘golden handshake’ from Eskom
The Public Protector has agreed to investigate former Eskom CE Brian Molefe’s R30m "golden handshake" from the power utility‚ the DA said on Monday. The party said it had requested the investigation after it emerged that the Eskom board had approved a R30m pension payout to Molefe after only 18 months as CE of Eskom. In a letter to the DA‚ the Office of the Public Protector said the complaint had been allocated to the good governance and integrity branch for further investigation. Molefe left Eskom’s employ in December last year following adverse findings made against him by former public protector Thuli Madonsela in her State of Capture report.
