Jabu Mabuza

Jabu Mabuza, chairman of the South African power utility regarded as the biggest risk to the nation’s economy, has taken on a non-executive director role at pay-television company MultiChoice Group.

The announcement adds to an impressive list of Mabuza’s board positions. He is also chairman of the Anheuser-Busch InBev’s Africa board, Sun International and the Casino Association of South Africa. He did recently give up the chairmanship at Telkom, though.

The latest move comes at a time when the state-owned electricity giant, Eskom, is looking for a new CEO, is seeking a multibillion-dollar bailout from the government and plans to split into three units.  — Reported by Paul Burkhardt, (c) 2019 Bloomberg LP
