Eskom board chair Mteto Nyati says he agreed to lead South Africa’s power utility and describes the culture change that followed, in a wide-ranging interview reported by multiple outlets. Both sources frame the effort as part of efforts to prevent Eskom from reaching a worse position.
The articles describe Nyati reflecting on his decision to take on the role and on what the board-focused approach involved after his appointment. Moneyweb presents the story as a broader account of how a “hand-picked” Eskom board supported the turnaround effort. The Citizen similarly highlights the interview and focuses on Nyati’s reflections on leadership and organisational change, without adding differing substantive details beyond the emphasis on the board’s role in steering the utility.
