The appointments are all effective from November 1, and include:

- Group executive: strategy and sustainability Nontokozo Hadebe, who is said to be a seasoned strategy executive with 23 years of experience and who will progress work in the areas of adapting Eskom’s strategy and aligning its research and development focus to solve Eskom’s current and future sustainability challenges and options;
- Group executive: group capital Roman Crookes, who is described as having over 23 years of experience in the local and international power industry, including as project director at Medupi, and who will be expected to drive efficiency in capital projects execution and capacitating the unbundled entities; and
- Chief information and technology officer Len de Villiers, who is said to have over 40 years of experience in the IT industry and who has been appointed on a three-year contract to assist Eskom’s digitalisation, use of AI, and to bolster its cybersecurity.
Marokane said Eskom required these executive-level skills so as to “execute strategic initiatives in a competitive market faster, more efficiently, and in areas which are new to the utility”.
