Andre de Ruyter will take up the position of Eskom group chief executive from January 2020.
Former COO at Eskom Jan Oberholzer will depart the utility at the end of July after a mutual agreement was reached.
Andre de Ruyter will not be required to serve out his notice period and has been released from his position at Eskom with immediate effect.
President Cyril Ramaphosa has once again stated that the country’s power issues are being resolved with renewable energy projects.
Eskom’s De Ruyter has set a new time frame for loadshedding to ease in South Africa. However, outages continue for now.
The Eskom CEO says there is a “very real risk” of Stage 6 loadshedding this evening as loss of generating capacity and strikes continue.
Eskom is searching within the company and the world for the CEO who will replace Andre De Ruyter.
We suppose Eskom gave us enough warning this time but the fact that Andre de Ruyter seemingly had no idea loadshedding was imminent is concerning.
Things at Eskom will get worse before they get better according to group CEO, Andre De Ruyter.
The new Eskom CEO is starting today, said to be the toughest job in the country: ending loadshedding. But just who is Dan Marokane?
A new chair of the Eskom board has been appointed after alleged conflict between the former chair and Minister Pravin Gordhan.
Upon learning that 60+ year olds weren’t being considered for the role of CEO, Pravin Gordhan recommended the utility reconsider that position.
