South Africa: Jabu Mabuza Appointed Eskom Acting CEO

Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan said in a statement on Monday afternoon that he has informed the Eskom Annual General Meeting (AGM) of his decision to appoint Jabu Mabuza as the interim executive chair for Eskom and acting CEO of Eskom Holdings.

Mabuza will assume the duty as acting group CEO for Eskom due to the resignation of Phakamani Hadebe. Hadebe leaves Eskom on July 31.

Within the three month period during which Mabuza will be the executive chair and acting CEO, the Eskom board will conclude the process of identifying a suitable candidate to become the next Eskom group CEO, according to Gordhan’s statement.

Hadebe resigned in May. In his resignation letter, he cited “unimaginable demands” of the job as having a negative impact on his health.
