EWN reports that former Eskom CEO Brian Molefe says there are no facts to support corruption claims against him. On Wednesday, he and other former state-owned enterprises (SOEs) heads who were sworn in as parliamentarians for the uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) Party.
He dismissed state capture as a concept conjured up by the World Bank and used to target him. It was the second time that Molefe joined the parliamentary benches. His first stint as an MP was a very brief one in 2017, when former President Jacob Zuma was believed to want Molefe to place Pravin Gordhan as the then-finance minister. Molefe has accused the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) of refusing to allow him a lawyer of his choice to defend him in the criminal cases he is facing. A trial date for a case in which Molefe and his new parliamentary colleague, Siyabonga Gama, are accused of corruption during their tenure at Transnet is due to be set in October.
