The reappointment of Brian Molefe to Eskom was a “joke” and would add to its leadership woes, the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) said on Friday.
In a media release, the union said Molefe was returning to Eskom “under a cloud” after the State of Capture report by the Public Protector implicated him.

“This situation is contributing towards making Eskom one of the weakest organisations in terms of leadership. We will await a proper invitation from Eskom so that we can comment appropriately on this joke,” the statement said.
