The state-owned Central Energy Fund (CEF) has appointed Tshepo Mokoka as Group CEO following his period as Acting Head after the departure of his predecessor Ishmael Poolo.
Mokoka holds a PhD in economics and brings “extensive executive leadership experience, sound governance expertise and a deep understanding of South Africa’s energy landscape”, according to the CEF.
“The Board has every confidence in Dr Mokoka’s ability to lead the CEF group into its next phase. His proven leadership, strategic insight and commitment to public service make him well suited to steer the organisation as we continue delivering on our mandate of ensuring security of energy supply and driving national development,” said CEF Chairperson Ayanda Noah.
CEF oversees a group of state energy entities involved in petroleum, gas, mining and renewable energy development.
