11th CEO in ten years for Eskom, South Africa's power utility firm
Quote from Ndubuisi Ekekwe on May 27, 2019, 9:23 AMThis is how you know there is paralysis - 11th CEO in ten years for Eskom, South Africa's power utility firm.
The top job at one of South Africa’s biggest and most-troubled companies is open again for the 11th time in a decade and it’s unclear anyone is ready to fill it.
State power utility Eskom will be seeking a replacement for Phakamani Hadebe, who announced plans to quit after just 16 months in the post. The role came with “unimaginable demands” that had taken a toll on his health, he said, and he was leaving in the interest of his family and the company.

The job demand is very inhuman, and except a prudent way of solving this position problem is resolved there would be no Individual to substation the work load.
Good Morning.
