Read: Top ANC MP removed from finance committee to make room for Brian Molefe
In yet another move seemingly edging him closer to cabinet, the ANC has shoehorned ‘Saxonwold Shebeen’ Molefe into a top finance committee position before he’s even been sworn in as MP.

Well, the ruling party’s sure in a rush to cement ex-Eskom CEO Brian Molefe’s role in parliament, even though many within the tripartite alliance and even the ANC itself are against the move.

To that end, the party has reportedly moved Makhosi Khoza from the parliamentary finance committee to the public service and administration committee to make room for Molefe who has yet to spend a single day as an MP.
The move further fuels speculation around whether or not Zuma will sabotage the economy once more, removing either finance minister Pravin Gordhan or Mcebisi Jonas and replacing them with Molefe.
Last year former Public Protector Thuli Madonsela’s State of Capture report implicated Molefe in the state capture scandal, showing him visiting the Guptas’ Saxonwold residence no less than 13 times… Molefe resigned as Eskom CEO soon after.
He’ll be sworn in as an MP on Wednesday.
