Fin24 reports that state-owned power utility Eskom announced on Monday the resignation of its group executive for generation, Philip Dukashe, with "great regret".
Dukashe, who has been with Eskom for 26 years, will step down on 31 May. The utility said Dukashe cited a "critical need" for more balance in his health, family and work responsibilities, which he had noted in his resignation letter and during talks with Eskom executives. General manager Rhulani Mathebula – who has also previously acted as group executive for generation – will step into Dukashe's role while Eskom recruits a replacement. In a statement, Eskom spokesperson Sikonathi Mantshantsha said the utility "saluted" Dukashe for "selfless leadership, integrity and excellence". In his weekly newsletter on Monday, President Cyril Ramaphosa said the unbundling of Eskom was on track and expressed optimism that by December 2022, the unbundling of Eskom’s generation and distribution divisions would be complete.
