New Eskom CEO
Meanwhile, months after the resignation of André de Ruyter, Eskom is reportedly set to appoint Dan Marokane as its new chief executive officer (CEO).
This is according to Bloomberg, who shared the news on X on Thursday night.
Marokane is at the helm of sugar producer Tongaat-Hulett and was previously head of group capital at the utility.
However, Eskom declined to give details, responding only to Bloomberg’s initial report.
“Eskom would like to reiterate that the process of the appointment of the Group Chief Executive is with the shareholder and once the decision is made, an announcement will be made public,” Eskom spokesperson Daphne Mokwena said.
