The decision he says, should never have been taken.
Gigaba was part of an inter-ministerial committee that instructed Public Enterprises Minister Lynne Brown to order the Eskom board to rescind its decision to re-employ Molefe.
"The events of the few weeks have been quite painful in a number of ways. The view of the IMC is that this decision should not have been taken."
Finance Minister Malusi Gigaba says that by rescinding the decision to re-employ Brian Molefe as head of Eskom, he hopes it will redeem not only the power utility but also the image of government.
