SA power chief quits in race row

Pretoria, 10 Nov-(ANA)-The chairman of South Africa's national power company Eskom has resigned, days after he was accused of forcing out his black chief executive.

Eskom board chairman Bobby Godsell and Jacob Maroga had been engaged in a power struggle for some time.

Last week, it was reported that Mr Maroga had resigned, leading the Youth League of the ruling ANC to allege he had been pushed because he was black.

Eskom has been in the spotlight since power cuts hit the country last year. (ANA)
