Former Eskom CEO Brian Molefe and four other former Eskom board members might never again hold directorships at a state-owned enterprise - at least if the wishes of Corruption Watch are granted.

In his founding affidavit, Lewis said the public had an interest in the proper governance and management of Eskom.

"These downgrades have had a detrimental effect on the growth of our economy and have increased the cost of living, which directly and adversely affects all South Africans and, more dramatically, the most vulnerable and poorest of South Africans," Lewis said. "The facts, which are at the heart of this application, centre on the gross negligence, mismanagement and maladministration of Eskom by the respondent directors, who were directors of the company and were responsible for the management and control of the company as per the governing prescripts of law and embodied in the Memorandum of Incorporation," Lewis said.

What about those in the private sector who are guilty of misrepresentation of facts to shareholders?

Sounds opportunistic to me. You cannot just bar people on the basis of mere allegations while investigations to establish the root causes of the problem are ongoing. The various kinds of allegations against so many people, why single out this guys? Is because they are black?

Why not prison?

They should never again be in public. Jail these thieves!
