Eskom acting CEO Molefe honoured with PhD

Johannesburg - Eskom’s acting CEO Brian Molefe received an honorary degree of Doctor of Engineering (DEng) from the Glasgow Caledonian University (GCU), in Glasgow, Scotland on Thursday.

The university decided to bestow the honour on Molefe in November last year, while he was at the helm of Transnet.

“The University Senate seeks to recognise your outstanding leadership of Transnet in your role as group CEO, and your commitment to social justice and the provision of opportunities to all through higher education,” the university said.

Glasgow Caledonian University is one of the few places in the world that offers a BSc in railway operations management.

Molefe was seconded to Eskom in April 2015, following four years as group CEO of Transnet. During his time at Transnet, he led the launch of the company’s R336bn capital investment programme, with a significant focus on training, especially of engineers.
