Eskom's former Financial Director, Tsholofelo Molefe suspended after a call to Lynn Brown - Klein

Former Eskom Board Member, Venete Klein, has told the Commission of Inquiry into State Capture that she recalls that former Eskom board member, Ben Ngubane, was persistently on the phone with the former Minister of Public Enterprises, Lynne Brown, before a decision was made to include Eskom's former Financial Director, Tsholofelo Molefe, on the list of executives who would be suspended in 2015. Other witnesses - including former Eskom chairperson Zola Tsotsi - have testified that the instruction to conduct an inquiry at Eskom and suspend three executives at the time - came directly from former president Jacob Zuma.
