In a surprising assessment, former Minister of Finance, Pravin Gordhan, accused Eskom of state capture at the same time minister; Lynne Brown and Eskom’s Ben Ngubane arrived.
Gordhan, who is just an ordinary MP, and now serves on the Portfolio Committee on Public Enterprises, with his first participation in the committee, he told Browne: “You are part of a group that wants to hijack Eskom so that a few people can benefit from it.”

Lynne Brown has in the meantime accepted the court ruling in which Molefe’s reappointment is set aside.
