What do you think of Eskom’s new interim CEO?
Social media has been flooded with reactions to Eskom appointing Calib Cassim as its interim group CEO.
Cassim’s appointment was confirmed on Friday morning, and comes hours after former CEO André de Ruyter parted ways with the power utility with immediate effect.“Mr Cassim will lead the Eskom management team until further notice,” the power utility said.“He is a registered chartered accountant and holds a master’s degree in business leadership .”
Eskom said Cassim had “a deep understanding and appreciation of the Eskom business and the electricity industry, especially regarding the challenges facing the financing of operations and future expansion of the industry.” and was serving his notice period until the end of March. However, he and the board came to a “mutual agreement” this week to cut that short.n eNCA interview was aired in which De Ruyter made explosive allegations about the inner workings of Eskom and his experience as CEO.
South Africans have been watching the turbulent past few days at Eskom and took to social media to weigh in on whether the interim CEO would be a success.He is an accountant. Andre de Ruyter was a lawyer. In my view Eskom needs a CEO with an engineering background, even in an acting capacity. The issues are very technical and they need someone with a real grasp of engineering
