If mining and energy minister Gwede Mantashe is to be believed when he says stabilising state-owned entities in his department is a priority, he is doing a terrible job of it at the SA Nuclear Energy Corporation .
In July, Necsa board chair Rob Adam resigned after just seven months on the job, and board member Jabulani Ndlovu followed him on the way out. In the past week, two more board members, Ramatsemela Masango and Aadil Patel, also followed suit. Douglas Molepo, director of dispute resolution at ENSafrica and part of Kemm’s legal team, contended that because the minister’s decision to disband the previous board was found to be unlawful, his subsequent decision to appoint a new board was similarly unlawful.
Another glimpse into the discord within Nesca is the suspension of its chief legal officer, Vusi Malebana, whose disciplinary hearing began on Monday after being suspended last month. Malebana stands accused of having disseminated confidential board information. He rejected the claims as “utter nonsense” and says he is being targeted for flagging corporate governance issues.
“Since they started, the organisation has gone from bad to worse,” said Zolani Masoleng, Nehawu’s Necsa branch chair. Nehawu’s primary concern is that the board has been working on a turnaround strategy that contemplates 400 retrenchments without engaging labour.
