The matter was not on the agenda of a council sitting held on Friday morning. ANC Chief Whip, Nikelo Vumile, confirms that the matter will be attended to during the next council sitting. The ANC's Interim Provincial Committee (IPC) coordinator, Paseka Nompondo, previously announced that plans were in motion to see to it that the board is dissolved during a council sitting.

OFM News previously reported that Centlec’s embattled Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and ousted Chief Financial Officer (CFO) dragged each other to court over the day-to-day running of the power entity. Ousted CFO Hlonelwa Nkomo wants the court to declare CEO Malefane Sekoboto a delinquent manager, following a fallout.

Nkomo has since accused Sekoboto of dragging Centlec into the matter while it has no jurisdiction over it. She said the entity is using taxpayers’ money to defend Sekoboto.

On Tuesday, Nkomo was served with court papers which interdicted her from holding a media briefing involving Mangaung's power entity.

In court documents furnished by Centlec, Judge Soma Naidoo has given a court order preventing Nkomo to mention details which are yet to be aired in court with regard to an application she has made in June. The order said Nkomo was restrained and interdicted from holding a media briefing. Centlec spokesperson, Lele Mamatu, confirms that indeed Judge Naidoo interdicted Nkomo from holding a briefing.

Nkomo, in her affidavit, disposed in court on 29 June 2022, makes damning allegations against Sekoboto and indicates that there are no signed minutes of a board meeting of the entity, showing that Sekoboto was employed as such.
