Nxumalo, who has more than 20 years of experience at the utility, has held senior roles at a number of power stations
Eskom has appointed long-time Eskom employee Bheki Nxumalo to head its critical power generation business.
Nxumalo, a registered engineer, joined Eskom as a senior technician in 1996 and has more than 20 years experience in various positions in Eskom’s generation business, the utility said in a statement on Wednesday.Severe operational issues at Eskom came to the fore earlier this year when, for the first time, the utility instituted stage 4 load-shedding, wreaking havoc on the SA economy and contributing to a 3.2% contraction in GDP growth in the first three months of 2019.
Eskom said inadequate maintenance of its ageing fleet of coal-fired power stations was behind the frequent unplanned outages.
