"The resignation of Eskom's Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Jacob Maroga, is welcomed by the Freedom Front Plus. His resignation will bring more certainty and investors will be more interested in South Africa now. Workers, middle and senior managers at Eskom will also be more motivated to do their work. The handling of Maroga's resignation by the government and the Minister of Public Enterprises, Ms. Barbara Hogan, however shows clumsiness and amateurishness. This clumsiness led to the expertise of the previous Chairperson of the Board, Bobby Godsell, being lost to Eskom and the consumers. The new appointment of a Chief Executive Officer has to be done on merit and expertise. Only experts will be able to help Eskom," Mr. Pieter Groenewald, chief spokesperson on Public Enterprises for the Freedom Front Plus, says.
"Maroga should definitely not be given a golden handshake and least of all a performance bonus. He does not deserve one of the two, as he has proven himself to be incompetent. We also call on government to not redeploy Maroga in any other public enterprise as chief executive officer," Mr. Groenewald said.
