Public Enterprises Minister Barbara Hogan is expected to meet with former chairperson of Eskom Bobby Godsell today.
Godsell stepped down after chief executive Jacob Maroga denied that he had resigned, before the Eskom board confirmed his resignation.
Hogan said on Friday that government would be grateful if Godsell reconsidered his position. Industry experts say Godsell’s return could bring stability to the embattled electricity provider.
Hogan is quoted as saying while President Jacob Zuma's intervention in the Eskom saga was helpful, it did delay processes.
In a statement on Friday Zuma said government would not interfere with what happened in the boardrooms of state-owned enterprises.
It is rumoured that Maroga refused to go because he believed he had Zuma’s support, while Godsell left because he felt that he was not being supported by government.
