In a statement released on Monday, Eskom announced that the former Chief Operating Officer (COO), Jan Oberholzer, has parted ways with the power utility, by what is claimed as mutual consent.
Oberholzer had signed a two-year contract in June, to assist in the support specifically of the Long-Term Operation (LTO) currently underway at the Koeberg Nuclear Power Station in addition to the Kusile Power Station project.
