Eskom CEO Brian Dames resigns─── 11:51 Thu, 05 Dec 2013
Pretoria - Eskom said on Thursday its chief executive would step down in March, departing the power utility at a time when South Africa struggles to keep the lights on due to tight electricity supply.
Eskom chairperson Zola Tsotsi told a media briefing that Brian Dames was stepping down for "personal reasons" and that a search for his successor was already underway.
His resignation follows the departure of another top executive, CFO Paul O’Flaherty in July this year.
Dames was appointed chief executive of Eskom on July 1 2010, after serving Eskom in various management positions and as member of the executive committee in 2004.
He joined Eskom in 1987 as a graduate in training, according to Whoswho.
