Operational, financial and societal challenges such as crime and corruption affected his performance as Eskom CEO, says Andre de Ruyter.
“I’m disappointed I couldn’t achieve the objectives I set for myself...” These are the words of Andre de Ruyter, the exiting CEO of Eskom.
“It’s been an absolute honour and privilege to lead an organisation of the size of Eskom. I’m disappointed I couldn’t achieve the objectives I set for myself,” he told a news briefing on Thursday. “I have decided to step back and afford the board [a chance] to appoint a candidate who is better suited and equipped for the job.”
He said operational, financial and societal challenges such as crime and corruption had affected his performance. In addition, he said: “I am in a position where I am also dependent on the support of the broader political economy, and that is critical to enabling the success of Eskom going forward.”
