Johannesburg - Former Eskom CEO
Jacob Maroga, who backtracked on his 2009 resignation, is appealing a High Court ruling which dismissed an application for his reinstatement or a payout of R85m.
Maroga's application was dismissed in the South Gauteng High Court in Johannesburg on December 10.
On Wednesday Maroga filed a notice saying he would appeal the court's ruling.
The court dismissed his application on the grounds that Maroga had resigned.
In October 2009 Maroga took his dispute with Eskom public, plunging the utility into crisis when he backtracked on his resignation. The utility's former chairperson
Bobby Godsell resigned in the wake of the disagreement.
In the notice of his application for leave to appeal, Maroga takes issue with Judge J. Masipa's finding that he had offered to resign.
He says that the judge erred in her finding as his offer to resign was "not free from qualifications" and that there is no evidence that the Eskom board had accepted his resignation.
Maroga also takes issue with the judge's rejection of his version as "not creditworthy", "implausible", "reliable", "just not true" and "demonstrably lacking in credence".
He is also contesting her finding that his contract with Eskom was properly terminated and her awarding of costs to Eskom.
