7 images showing an emotional Brian Molefe

Cape Town - CEO Brian Molefe broke down in tears at Eskom's results presentation on Thursday as he explained his movements in Saxonwold following a damning public protector report into state capture.

Eskom board chairperson Ben Ngubane took a swipe at former public protector Thuli Madonsela, saying she  has struck a deathly blow against Eskom – "if Brian Molefe resigns she will have to take the blame".

Referring to the Tegeta, Optimun Coal matter mentioned in the "State of Capture" report released on Wednesday, Molefe said hewas agonising "the whole of last night on what we could have done differently and I believe nothing".

Meanwhile, true to Nando’s courageous, the fast food chain has also come to the state capture party with another fiery ad. Nando’s is known for producing comedy advertising for years now. The latest ad pokes fun at President Jacob Zuma when he couldn't pronounce the amount, R939 360 000, and instead said 939 million 3000 and 60000.
