Khoza’s position as acting chair comes after the resignation of Ben Ngubane earlier this month.
Dladla has plied his career amongst international brands such as BHP Billiton and South African Breweries (SAB). He has successfully executed major projects, built sustainable relationships, legacy of service delivery with major local and international private and public sector organizations.
A Chartered Marketer, he has studied across a range of critical fields including finance and accounting amongst Harvard Business School, Fort Hare University, Cranfield University (UK), AAA School of Advertising and IMM.
The minister has obligated the Board to finalize the appointment of a permanent group chief executive to ensure long-term stability to the utility.
