Public Enterprises Minister Lynne Brown this week quashed yet another bid by Eskom's board to pay former CEO Brian Molefe a multimillion-rand golden handshake. The request to pay Molefe a settlement of R11.2m was made to Brown by interim board chairman Zethembe Khoza. It came just months after the minister rejected an initial bid to pay Molefe a R30m "early retirement package" in April, following a Sunday Times exposè. Khoza's letter to Brown, which was seen by the Sunday Times, was dated June 28, just two weeks after Ben Ngubane resigned as Eskom chairman. In it, Khoza said Molefe was paid R8.3-million in remuneration last year. Read the full version of this article in the Sunday Times.
