Malema wants ex-Eskom CEOs Matshela Koko and Brian Molefe back at power utility

For Malema, the only solution for SA's dire energy situation is for embattled former Eskom CEOs to return to the helm of the power utility.

The EFF leader called for Matshela Koko and Brian Molefe to reprise their positions at Eskom. But both men have been embroiled in their fair share of corruption scandals.

Koko was named in the State Capture Report and accused of facilitating the Gutpa-era of corruption at the power utility.

Meanwhile, Molefe is facing charges of fraud, corruption and money laundering for alleged dodgy dealing while he was the CEO at Transnet, EWN reported.

"I believe this guy...We are in deep trouble."

Gosiame Albert demanded:

"Something has to be done, businesses are closed due to these rolling blackouts."
