Eskom eliminating COO position

South Africa’s state-owned power utility Eskom Holding SOC Ltd. will eliminate the position of chief operating officer after Jan Oberholzer, who is currently in the role, retires in April, according to board member Mteto Nyati.

“Going forward we’re not going to be having a COO,” Nyati said in a virtual briefing on Thursday. “That’s the board position on this matter.”

Clowns. That's all they need

More money to spread between the rest or good business decision. Find out next week.

The Eskom board couldn't find a fart detector in a Volvo. And that is my opinion on the matter.

Vatso.

What was Jan doing there all along, nothing important it seems

Scaling down already. A bit too late for that

 

[Paulsie]

Makes sense I guess, since they're not operating.

That's good, Oberholzer can keep the title of being the most useless COO of all time at Eskom.

Featherstone said that although an agreement between the US and South Africa has lapsed, ending the license that allows Westinghouse to export nuclear fuel to the Koeberg station, more won’t be needed until mid-2024

Oh, cool, so given Eskoms track record you probably not going to worry about the lapsed agreement until some time in 2025.

Babysitting De Ruyter I expect.

That is if they allowed to operate, ie Life extension goes through.

They meant to be taken offline in July 2024.

 

[Itsa Trap]

At the rate this is going, they'll be eliminating ALL the positions in Eskom.
