DA, ANC place faith in new ESKOM boss De Ruyter; EFF not happy
JOHANNESBURG – Andre De Ruyter’s appointment as Eskom’s new boss has drawn mixed reactions.
The Public Enterprises Ministry said he was one of 142 candidates who applied for the job. And it’s an unenviable one, with the company drowning in debt and struggling to keep the lights on.
De Ruyter will officially take up his new role at the state-owned utility on 15 January.
De Ruyter has not only decided to take on the mammoth task of leading financially-strapped Eskom, but he has also agreed to a lower compensation package than the position currently pays.
