JUST IN: Eskom boss Phakamani Hadebe steps down

Phakamani Hadebe has announced his sudden resignation as Eskom's chief executive officer, the power utility confirmed to Fin24."It is no secret that this role comes with unimaginable demands which have unfortunately had a negative impact on my health. In the best interests of Eskom and my family, I have therefore decided to step down," said Hadebe in a statement issued by Eskom on Friday night.

According to Eskom chair Jabu Mabuza, Hadebe has been instrumental in driving stability at Eskom during a very challenging period at the organisation. The Eskom board said it is grateful to Hadebe for his commitment to ensuring leadership stability as a critical factor in the successful implementation of Eskom's"strategy to deliver on both our commercial and developmental mandate and as such will be engaging with him over the coming two weeks to ensure continuity and a steady transition".Most recently he was CEO Corporate and Investment banking at Barclays Africa.

Bye bye Mr LoadShedding

I think PHAKAMANI was deceived that his leaders are of integrity so he is just tried of nonsense

Eskom isaa mess

Were you the right person to begin with, but more importantly, how much money, in total, did you draw from Eskom?

Oops there goes more Rmillions

Only Molefe was capable

Maybe Cyril is seriously going to stop corruption or they are leaving a sinking ship .....

Deployee failed to deliver

UkwandaMahlangu please hire me chief

There are snakes in this mfkn ✈. I like that Samuel.L Jackson look about him. Phakamani could not cope ,is too much

Eskom_SA is over staffed and the government doesn’t want him to retrench in order to cut operational costs. Mission impossible!

'Negative impact on my health' in other words: I didn't have a clue what was going on.

Phakamani Hadebe was just a clueless demagogue.

I leave this app for an hour and the country fundamentally changes.

Is running because loadshedding is upon us?

Your R400k salary will keep you going for a few month's sir.

The big rat jumping ship before he is pushed?

What happened, is he feeling the heat?

Eskom, not for the faint hearted.

Think we need to dip this country in rice for a while...

Give Zuma the job

Ouch, uze wa-'Phakama' lo Baba kulesi sihlalo. I always thought it's only a football coaching seat that is hot...but again... I guess, all Power Generation switches are just underneath...EISH!! New DAWN is becoming a New YAWN.

Today was indeed resignation day, I resigned, May resigned, phakamani resigned

about time

2nd Black CEO who to lose their job in few hours today

Privatise the damn thing and move on with our lives. Sell the thing to the highest bidder!!

This guy stepped down 2 months ago we know :-) but qhubekani

Shit is about to go down at megawatt!

me_shell33 'We have learnt to depend on his resilience to drive the kind of *transformation* that South Africa expects of our organisation' Yes you *transformed* ESKOM from a world leader in power generation into a third rate, junk status, bankrupt organisation. *Transform* some more...

Maybe time for a white boss

Looks pretty healthy to me. Assume there's another multi million Rand golden handshake Eskom_SA ?

Stylesg10 It is more likely that a white person will fill this post

Maria Ramos will be appointed

Bye bye mehlo'esikhova!

Someone whispered to him that pravingordhan is not coming back. He see that there's no NewDawn

What a joke....

PieterDuToit To hell with women and children - I'm the captain, I go first!
