Delivering a keynote address at the South African National Editors Forum fundraising dinner on Friday, Makwana said he did not want any “noise” around his departure, admitting that he deliberately avoided giving media interviews to “avoid creating drama” and to afford his successor a seamless takeover.
“Eskom will be best served by me stepping back from the media arena to allow the new chairperson space to settle in. I thank the minister for the positive, amicable manner in which we are concluding my tenure.”Makwana spent a year as chairman of Eskom. “Serving one’s country in this manner, as chair of a state owned company is like a marathon relay. I have run my leg of the race as best as possible, now I hand over the baton to the next leader to run his fair share of this complex race.”According to insiders who previously spoke to M&G, Makwana allegedly exerted undue influence in the process of hiring an agency to undertake the recruitment of a new CEO.
