Eskom Board Term Ends After Successful 3-Year Turnaround Drive.

Loading player...
After three years of intense scrutiny, tough reforms and national urgency the Eskom Board appointed in 2022 now concludes its term with a story of resilience and recovery. Under the leadership of Chairperson Mteto Nyati, the board navigated one of the most challenging periods in the utility’s history, stabilising operations and steering Eskom back toward profitability for the first time in eight years.

In this conversation, Nyati reflects on a term defined by decisive governance, accountability and structural reform not quick fixes. From strengthening South Africa’s electricity system to rebuilding confidence in Eskom as a sustainable and investable company, the outgoing board leaves behind measurable progress and a utility better positioned for the future.
