In a statement, the beleaguered parastatal said the Board has asked him to prioritise several key areas in the first 100 days

“We expect Dan and his leadership team to accomplish at least two critical tasks. First, they must address the current business challenges. Loadshedding must become a thing of the past. Second, they need to reposition and restructure Eskom to enable growth and sustainability,” said Eskom Board Chairman Mteto Nyati

He expressed confidence in Marokane’s abilities, as well as in the leadership and staff of Eskom, emphasising their collective commitment to turning the organisation around.

In Marokane first 100 days, he is expected to assess the Generation Operational Recovery Plan, review Eskom’s unbundling plans, and engage with internal and external stakeholders.

‘’These first 100 days are crucial for helping him gain necessary insights about Eskom and the industry. He should be in a position to engage with the media at the end of this critical period,’’ said Nyati.

“Dan has the full support of the Eskom Board. Eskom employees are excited to welcome him back into the organisation. We invite all South Africans to rally behind him as he steers Eskom toward stability, reliability and sustainability,” he added.
