Did Ben Ngubane resign from Eskom, did he retire, is he taking a sabbatical or will he also get a guided tour of Parliament like Molefe?

Ben Ngubane's resignation as Eishkom board chair is good but it's NOT a substitute for still holding him accountable. Many questions remain. pic.twitter.com/mlyD9nmt73

Berning Ntlameza gone. Hlaudi Motsoeneng gone. Brian Molefe gone. Ben Ngubane gone. Is pressure finally coming to bear? Is the tide turning?
