Suspended Marokane to leave Eskom
Eskom and suspended group capital executive Dan Marokane have mutually agreed to part ways “on an amicable basis”, the energy utility said on Monday.
While declining Engineering News Online’s request for clarity on the terms of separation, the State-owned company expressly noted that no misconduct or wrongdoing was alleged by Eskom against Marokane.
The utility outlined in a statement that the outgoing executive believed that the agreement to separate was in the best interests of both parties and would allow the board to pursue its plans for the company under the current leadership.
The inquiry initiated by Eskom’s board into the state of affairs at Eskom would continue as planned.
“The separation is also by no means in anticipation of the outcome of the inquiry, the latter whose objective is to enable the organisation to deal with its challenges,” it held.
Eskom in March announced the suspension of four senior executives – including Marokane and CEO Tshediso Matona – following a board decision to institute a three-month inquiry into the state of the troubled business.
Matona last month also agreed to part ways with Eskom.
Marokane joined Eskom in January 2010 and held executive leadership roles in the primary energy, enterprises, commercial and technology and capital divisions.
In his position as group capital executive, the company said he drove Eskom’s build programme and the attainment of the first synchronisation of unit 6 of the Medupi power station, in Limpopo.
Meanwhile, Abram Masango stepped in as acting executive for group capital in March.
