Trade union Solidarity believes the permanent appointment of Brian Molefe as CEO of State-owned Eskom is a step in the right direction in providing stability to the national energy supplier.

“We welcome Molefe’s appointment and trust that the leadership he has already shown will continue,” Solidarity energy industry head Deon Reyneke said in a statement.

He added that, since Molefe’s appointment as acting CEO in April, several systems were put in place in a bid to stabilise the energy supplier.

“We wish him all the best for the task ahead,” Reyneke said.

Cabinet on Friday approved Molefe’s appointment and also confirmed the appointment of Dr Ben Ngubane as permanent Eskom chairperson.

Public Enterprises Minister Lynne Brown also welcomed the appointments, describing them as “part of my ongoing interventions to stabilise Eskom”.

“I want to thank the Transnet board for agreeing to second Molefe to Eskom. Now that they have been permanently appointed at Eskom, I have requested the board to start the process to fill these vacancies at Transnet,” Brown said in a statement last week.
