Replacing de Ruyter - who dares apply?
--:--
The hunt for South Africa's next power utility CEO has begun. Eskom recently published the CEO job spec on its website with hopes to have the right candidate by April. Trade union federation, Cosatu, has urged government to request outgoing Eskom chief executive, Andre de Ruyter, to remain at the helm of the power utility, until his replacement is appointed. So what skills will an ideal candidate need and who dares apply to replace De Ruyter, who says it's an unforgiving and dangerous job after an attempt on his life? Financial Mail's Deputy Editor and Columnist, Natasha Marrian spoke to Business Day TV about the hunt for the next Eskom CEO.
