the organisation. Eskom employees were excited to hear that Dan will rejoin the
company. They remember his hands-on leadership style that is needed right now,”
said Mteto Nyati, Eskom Board Chairman.
“The Board wishes him well as he steers Eskom in the right
direction and leading its turnaround from the front. We have confidence in his
capabilities, as well as those of the leadership and staff of Eskom, to turn
the organisation around,” added Nyati.
Marokane is no stranger to the embattled parastatal - he
returns to Eskom after he and three other senior executives were suspended
following an ethical stand they took a
gainst state capture, fraud and
corruption.
He is a qualified Chemical Engineer who has an MBA and a
seasoned executive with more than 20 years senior leadership experience. He
previously was the CEO of Tongaat-Hulett.
Marokane’s appointment follows the abrupt exit of former
Eskom CEO Andre De Ruyter. The group’s Chief Financial Officer, Calib Cassim,
served as interim CEO.
“The Board also expresses its deepest gratitude to Calib
Cassim for his leadership and the stability he brought as the Acting Group
Chief Executive. His dedication and commitment as well as his efforts to keep
management and staff focused and motivated, have not gone unnoticed. Through
his stewardship, Eskom managed to navigate through challenges and achieved significant
milestones,” said Mteto Nyati, Eskom Board Chairman.
