Eskom appoints new interim CEO

At least he isn’t white, as that’s what caused most of the conflict . I hope that they’ve learnt a lesson
 
Not a bad choice to be honest. The main problems are procurement/vendors/supply chain etc so he should be in a position to tackle those, however, he hasn't since he's been there so.....?

Wonder if we will see another resignation soon.
 
It's also not abnormal for another c-suite to fill in temporarily, temp being the operative word.
 
If he had been turning a blind eye to all the obvious corruption, like paying 1000s for knee guards when it costs few 100s, then he will not do much of anything to improve the situation. In the end just a puppet of his masters. The ANC will not allow a CEO again that they can't control 100%.

What ?

I'm just saying a white person indirectly causes so much trouble by being a certain race - that at least now, we're a step closer.

Sure, it's not what it looks like, did you notice that you had the honour of introducing race in a thread? Something you always accuse me of doing, or is the irony totally lost on you?
 
He is a registered Chartered Accountant (SA) and holds a master’s degree in Business Leadership (MBL). He has over 20 years of service at Eskom.

How's that a credential ?

Almost sounds like they are trying to make that sound like a good thing.

You do introduce race into a thread - any thread ... before most people! This thread was new though, so probably didn't get to it in time ?

Of interest, this is what I mean . It just makes it easier to focus on work, rather than have to defend your race and have all these allegations in the office .

* Eskom chief operating officer Jan Oberholzer has been cleared of all allegations of corruption, dishonesty, abuse of power and conflict of interest in an investigation conducted by senior counsel, the power utility said on Wednesday.

* The Eskom board has cleared its chief executive, Andre de Ruyter, of racial discrimination, abuse of power and other irregularities after an independent inquiry, led by advocate Ishmael Semenya SC.

* The appointment of a white treasurer at South Africa’s debt-addled power monopoly has become mired in allegations of racism. Mandla Maleka, filed a grievance against the company after being passed over, according to documents seen by Bloomberg. Maleka, who is Black, questioned why the finalists were “two middle-aged White men.”

* The department last week defended the decision to appoint Caroline Henry, who is White, as chairwoman of the Eskom Pension and Provident Fund.

lol another race they can tick-off the "see even they can't fix Eskom" list.

Why these people choose to be puppets going to the slaughter is beyond me. Its like being asked if you would like to be the Captain of a sinking ship run by pirates. Yes, your title is Captain... guess what you're going to actually accomplish though...

As if it's the first time they have a coloured CEO, the victimhood is just too strong.

They could have a Vulcan CEO, it doesn't change the fact its just puppeteering while those in control carry on doing what they are going to do.
