Eskom shortlists three CEO candidates

South African power company Eskom Holdings SOC Ltd. has shortlisted three candidates for chief executive officer to lead the loss-making utility out of its debt crisis, according to three people familiar with the process.

Andy Calitz, who started his career as an electrical engineer at Eskom, made the cut, according to two of the people who declined to be identified because the information isn’t public. Another is former CEO Jacob Maroga, one of the people said. They didn’t identify the third person on the list. [Bloomberg]

That's still happening?

 

[ToxicBunny]

Jacob should be disqualified cos he couldn't do the job the first time around...

Of the 2 names we know of, Andy Calitz should be a shoe in.

 

[Gaz{M}]

The butcher, the baker , the candlestick maker.

 

[Mike Hoxbig]

That's still happening?

Will keep happening.

In 6 months time this process will be repeated when the newly appointed CEO steps down after realising there's no saving the sinking ship...

Too pale to get it.

And even if he does, he won't be able to do what needs to be done in reducing the bloat. He'll be the racist who left half the workforce without their dignity...

they will never put a whitey in charge of a SOE

Short term memory loss? Or did you forget SAPO?

I know the reality, but without knowing the other candidate, he is the only one of the 2 that I would even vaguely trust to turn Eskom around.... If Jacob gets the job then Eskom is fscked and will fail.

Short term memory loss? Or did you forget SAPO?

And what happened when he wanted to take the business to the next level?

They can work their way through the whole shortlist - that'll buy them 18 months.

yes it is now running properely, but imagine if ESKOM then started running the way it use to? the ANC will look like absolute phools

Immaterial,they still put a whitey in charge

 

[Jet-Fighter7700]

there your wrong, they WILL put a whitey in charge,
up until the SOE shows some profitability,
then fire his unlucky a$$

 

[ToxicBunny]

Immaterial,they still put a whitey in charge

Yeah...

And then they hamstrung him.... I fear that a similar thing will happen at Eskom... so they may appoint someone like Andy Calitz, and then just hamstring him entirely.....

Denel CEO?

He won't be unlucky if he achieves that tbh....

He will easily increase his salary 10 fold at another global power player if he manages that.

From 2010:

Maroga had said the Eskom board did not have the power to dismiss him or accept his resignation, and that that was the responsibility of the then minister of public enterprises, Barbara Hogan.
