The Eskom Board is delighted to declare the selection of Dan Marokane as the incoming Group Chief Executive of Eskom.
Marokane, a certified Chemical Engineer with an MBA, brings over two decades of executive expertise to the role. He is scheduled to assume his position at Eskom by no later than March 31, 2024.
Marokane returns to Eskom after he and three other senior executives were suspended following an ethical stand they took against state capture, fraud and corruption.
He has experience working in distressed organisations with visible and pressurised turnaround mandates. His recent assignment is at Tongaat-Hulett where he stepped up to lead this financially distressed business when its Chief Executive Officer resigned.
Mteto Nyati, Chairman of the Eskom Board, said the appointment of Marokane follows a long, rigorous and meticulous recruitment process.
