Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan has reportedly informed the directors of Eskom that changes will be made to the board in the next few days.
News24 reports that Eskom, which can have a maximum of 13 non-executive directors, has only six.
The news outlet reports that seven have resigned with the first resignation in 2018 and have not been replaced.
The remaining directors, whose terms began in 2018, have appealed to Gordhan for several years to fill the vacancies on the board.
The board, which has been chaired by Professor Malegupuru Makgoba in an interim capacity since the resignation of Jabu Mabuza in 2020, has strongly supported the leadership of Eskom CEO André de Ruyter.
While there was a strong sentiment expressed in last week’s Cabinet meeting that De Ruyter should be fired, there has been no indication yet of what Gordhan intends to do.
