The Interim Group Chief Executive of Eskom Mr Matshela Koko has announced movements in the executive committee structure to further strengthen the implementation of Eskom’s corporate plan.

Mr Koko said, “Our Design-to-cost (DTC) five-year strategic corporate plan continues to gain momentum as we focus on delivering on our five priority projects. These include increasing demand for electricity, reducing primary energy expenses, implementing advance analytics to deliver savings, releasing government guarantees and optimising our capital expenditure. I am therefore pleased to announce that the Eskom Board has endorsed the secondment of Mr Abram Masango, currently Group Executive for Group Capital to the Office of the Group Chief Executive, with immediate effect.”

In his new role, Mr Masango will assist Mr Anoj Singh, Group Chief Financial Officer and the Interim Group Chief Executive Mr Matshela Koko with the execution of the 2017/18 corporate plan.

“Mr Masango has the appropriate skills needed to ensure focused execution, with the determined leadership to manage the daunting work ahead,” added Koko.

Mr Prish Govender, currently General Manager for Capital Assurance Integration and Special Projects, will act as Group Executive for Group Capital with immediate effect.
