Johannesburg - Eskom chair Bobby Godsell will brief the media on "the
current developments at Eskom" at its Johannesburg headquarters on
Thursday afternoon, the company's media desk said.
While not providing further details, it is expected to be about
the future of the company chief executive officer Jacob Maroga.
Godsell was also expected to address staff, before the media
briefing.
Eskom spokesperson Andrew Etzinger said he could not provide
details, saying only that Godsell would address the conference at
13:00.
Public Enterprises Minister Barbara Hogan told Parliament on
Wednesday that Maroga was not solely responsible for the power
utility's problems and that it was unfair to blame him.
Earlier, fin24.com reported that President Jacob Zuma had
intervened to prevent Maroga being sacked by the Eskom board.
As a consequence, the board had been embroiled in a fierce
dispute with government - led by Hogan and her deputy Enoch
Godongwana.
