The Minister of Public Enterprises, Lynne Brown, has approved the appointment of the current group executive: generation, Matshela Koko, as acting group chief executive of Eskom with effect from today (Thursday).
The appointment follows the resignation of Brian Molefe earlier this month as group chief executive officer of the company.
“I approved the Board’s request as Mr Koko has a wealth of experience and understands the challenges Eskom faces. His appointment will also ensure continuity at Eskom. I have also asked the Board to immediately start the process to appoint a permanent group CEO as this process needs their urgent attention. Mr Koko must ensure that the current trajectory at Eskom continues,” said Brown.
Koko joined Eskom in September 1996.
