ANA reports that the South African Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SACCI) said on Sunday that the newly appointed Eskom board should speedily start with the process of identifying and recruiting the best permanent executive talent for the power utility.
Welcoming the appointment of the new Eskom board, SACCI’s Alan Mukoki expressed the hope that “under the chairmanship of Mr Jabu Mabuza the new board will get on with the urgent mammoth task of stabilising Eskom and fixing its governance structures and processes to stabilise the corporation." He went on to say: "The Eskom board should speedily start with the process of identifying and recruiting the best permanent executive talent for Eskom. At this time the board has an opportunity not to compromise on a suitable candidate with competence, experience, and a performance track-record and leadership capabilities. We encourage the board to look for and find the best talent locally or abroad. Eskom’s challenges require this aspect to be taken very seriously and diligently." On Saturday, Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa announced far reaching measures intended to improve governance as well as restore the integrity of Eskom.
