Eskom CEO Andre de Ruyter resigns
Eskom’s group chief executive Andre de Ruyter has resigned after a tumultuous three years in office.
JOHANNESBURG - Andre de Ruyter has resigned as Eskom CEO.
He was appointed in December 2019 and has had a tumultuous time in office since.
2022 has seen more power cuts than any year since rolling blackouts started back in 2007.
We're currently on Stage 5 blackouts, with no sign of a reprieve on the horizon.
Just last week, De Ruyter faced public criticism from both Energy Minister Gwede Mantashe as well as from Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan.
