Molefe, who was ousted from Eskom in 2016 amid State Capture allegations, claims he’s being dragged through “bad-faith litigation” as the fund contradicts its own position and even changes legal counsel mid-battle. The dispute, rooted in a controversial 30-million-rand early retirement payout, hinges on whether Molefe was ever eligible for the pension scheme — a question the courts are still wrestling with, with conflicting rulings and shifting numbers. Molefe’s legal team is asking the Constitutional Court to toss the entire case, arguing the fund’s tactics are inconsistent and unfair.
