    Godsell confirms he won’t return to Eskom

    Eskom Komati power stationBobby Godsell has confirmed his resignation as chairman of Eskom with public enterprises minister Barbara Hogan, he said in a statement on Monday.

    “During this last week the Eskom board has been able to act decisively,” he said. “Government, particularly as indicated by minister Hogan’s address to parliament, has given the board the backing it needed. Mpho Makwana has already demonstrated his wise and calm leadership capacities in the press conference he conducted last Thursday.

    “The strong management team will soon be strengthened by new appointments in both finance and [human resources]. Eskom is ready to move forward under new leadership. It is this new leadership that must write the new chapter. I have therefore reconfirmed my resignation to minister Hogan.”

    Godsell said recently he submitted his resignation as the government had not been supportive of the board’s move to oust CEO Jacob Maroga. His move followed a disagreement between him and Maroga over how the parastatal should be run.

    Maroga’s resignation was confirmed by Eskom’s board last Thursday.

    In a Talk Radio 702 interview on Friday, Hogan said she would be grateful if Godsell reconsidered his position. Her office later said it was “up to Mr Godsell if he wants to return to the Eskom board”.  — Sapa
