Cape Town - South Africa's scandal-plagued
power supplier Eskom will appoint a new board and begin the
search for a new chief executive at a special meeting in
November, Public Enterprises Minister Lynne Brown told lawmakers
on Wednesday.
Eskom, which is at the centre of allegations of improper
dealings in government contracts, has suspended its chief
executive and chief financial officer pending disciplinary
hearings, both of whom have denied wrongdoing.
Many of the allegations are linked to a slew of leaked
emails, which Reuters have not independently verified.
