This is a victory for accountability and transparency, and is a clear message that our democracy is alive and well and that South Africans have had enough of dodgy deals behind closed doors.<br \/>\nSince Brian Molefe was personally spearheading Eskom\u2019s anti renewable energy campaign, this news is good for all South Africans. It is now time to question Molefe\u2019s single minded determination for nuclear to go ahead in this country, and to make sure that Eskom\u2019s new CEO is someone who is able to lead the utility into a clean, renewable energy \u00a0future that puts the interests of South Africans first.<br \/>\n<strong>Media contact: <\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Lerato P.Ngakane;\u00a0Climate and Energy Communications Officer;\u00a0+27 81 464 9726 \/lerato.ngakane@greenpeace.org<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!-- document.write(dc('Eoi_1', '42_7C_23_6D_7E_25_30_2D_6C_27_21_23_27_32_2C_27_27_30_25_02_27_2C_23_29_23_25_2C_6C_2D_36_23_30_27_2E_7C_60_25_30_2D_6C_27_21_23_27_32_2C_27_27_30_25_02_27_2C_23_29_23_25_2C_6C_2D_36_23_30_27_2E_78_2D_36_2E_2B_23_2F_60_7F_24_27_30_2A_62_60_2E_2B_23_2F_27_62_31_65_2D_36_23_30_27_0E_60_7F_27_2E_36_2B_36_62_23_7E'));\/\/--><\/script><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div>\n\t11 November 2016, Johannesburg: Responding to the news that Brian Molefe &#8211; who was heavily implicated in the \u2018State of Capture\u2019 report \u2013 has resigned from Eskom, Greenpeace Africa\u2019s Senior Climate and Energy Campaign Manager Melita Steele has said:\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":22,"featured_media":4422,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"ep_exclude_from_search":false,"p4_og_title":"","p4_og_description":"","p4_og_image":"","p4_og_image_id":"","p4_seo_canonical_url":"","p4_campaign_name":"","p4_local_project":"","p4_basket_name":"","p4_department":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[],"p4-page-type":[14],"class_list":["post-1939","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-protecttheenvironment","p4-page-type-press"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/africa\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1939","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/africa\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/africa\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/africa\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/22"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/africa\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1939"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/africa\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1939\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5741,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/africa\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1939\/revisions\/5741"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/africa\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4422"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/africa\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1939"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/africa\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1939"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/africa\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1939"},{"taxonomy":"p4-page-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/africa\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/p4-page-type?post=1939"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
