Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan has announced that, following the finalisation of an extensive review, the board of State-owned Eskom would soon be reconstituted and restructured.
Gordhan has met with members of the Eskom board whose term expired in 2021 and was extended subject to a review and has said that they will be informed of the outcome of the process in due course.
He has been in engagements with the board on various matters pertaining to the current electricity generation challenges and other energy-related matters such as procurement, recruitment of former and experienced Eskom employees, and the combatting of fraud and corruption.
Gordhan thanked the current board members for their service during “the most challenging period of the entity”.
Government will soon deliberate on the reconstitution of a new and restructured Eskom board and has promised to make announcements in this regard shortly, the Department of Public Enterprises notes in a statement issued on September 27.
