Friday, 13 September 2024: Eskom joins the rest of South Africa and the global community in mourning the passing of former Public Enterprises Minister, Mr. Pravin Gordhan. Mr. Gordhan was a pivotal figure in Eskom’s transformation, driving critical reforms that set the foundation for the utility’s future. He was instrumental in initiating the legal separation of Eskom into Generation, Transmission, and Distribution entities.

His vision, outlined in the 2019 Department of Public Enterprises Roadmap for Eskom in a reformed Electricity Supply Industry, led to the creation of the National Transmission Company South Africa (NTCSA), which began operations in July this year. This marked a key milestone in South Africa’s efforts to reform the electricity sector, boost efficiency, and promote transparency.

“On behalf of the Eskom Board, executives, and all staff, I would like to offer our heartfelt condolences to the family of Mr. Pravin Gordhan. His strategic guidance and unwavering support were essential to the current board’s efforts to restore Eskom’s performance. He consistently stood by this Board, management, and employees during his time as Minister. His legacy will live on through us as we rebuild a high performance and ethical Eskom,” said Eskom Board Chairperson, Mteto Nyati.

We send our deepest sympathies to his loved ones, knowing that his contributions will forever be remembered as a vital part of South Africa’s progress.

May his soul rest in peace!

  1. Polo Leteka always had an entrepreneurial spirit, but couldn\’t quite decide on which direction to go in. She spent several years in the private and public sectors, and during her tenure in Government she knew she wanted to have a greater impact on helping South Africans follow their dreams by becoming entrepreneurs. She launched Capital Partners, an SME enterprise advisory and fund managing service firm. She brought two partners into the business to expand the services they could offer. Leteka went on to become one of the \”dragons\’ on the South African edition of Dragons\’ Den, investing in start-up businesses.
