Fin24 reports that Eskom has compiled a shortlist consisting of five candidates to take on the role of CEO of the embattled utility.
Delivering a keynote address at the National Demand Side Management Indaba in Johannesburg on Monday, Eskom board chairperson Mpho Makwana said the utility was progressing in its search for a new CEO: "We've been quite advanced in the shortlisting process for the next new chief executive of Eskom, such that we now have a small shortlist of five candidates." He advised that that he would be attending a meeting later on Monday related to the appointment. Former Eskom CEO André de Ruyter, who joined the utility in late 2019, departed from his post earlier than anticipated. He resigned in December last year and was supposed to have stayed on until April, but left the utility abruptly in February. This followed an explosive interview, in which De Ruyter accused a "senior politician" of being involved in corruption at Eskom. After 30 years of service at the utility, Eskom Chief Operating Officer Jan Oberholzer will also leave the company when he retires this month.
