Nkomo is petitioning the court in a bid to have the current CEO, Sekoboto, declared a delinquent director following a string of damning allegations against him. In her affidavit disposed in court on 29 June 2022, she 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.

Meanwhile, Sekoboto intends to oppose an application made to the High Court seeking to declare him a delinquent. According to Centlec's spokesperson, Lele Mamatu, Sekoboto will contest the merits of the application made by the ousted Chief Financial Officer (CFO), Hlonelwa Nkomo, at the Free State High Court. He said the local power utility has noted the court application.
