The Citizen reports that state-owned power utility Eskom has declined to comment on its final candidate shortlist for group chief executive (GCE).
There is much anticipation to see who will take the reins of Eskom at a time when it is attempting to rebuild its reputation after former CEO André de Ruyter resigned and left the parastatal abruptly in February. He was replaced by former Eskom chief financial officer Calib Cassim, who took on the position on an interim basis. Eskom on Monday indicated that it had been receiving queries regarding some “leaked information” on the GCE final shortlist. Spokesperson Daphne Mokwena said the entity was concerned about the leaked information and dissociated itself from it. “We would like to confirm that the information regarding the shortlist of the candidates for the GCE position has not been communicated. As a principle, Eskom does not provide details of the candidates until we have made an appointment. This is because discretion and confidentiality is essential when hiring executive candidates. We can confirm at this stage that we have concluded the interviews and will announce the successful candidate at the appropriate time,” Mokwena said. In April, Eskom board chairperson Mpho Makwana indicated that the parastatal was closing in on its decision on whom to appoint as the new CEO.
