This follows the resignation of Roman Crookes, who wishes to pursue other opportunities.

Dukashe, a civil engineer by profession, has been working for Eskom for 22 years at various managerial levels.

From 2010 to now, he was GM for generation coal projects, which included the major refurbishment of coal-fired power stations such as the return to service of the Komati, Camden and Grootvlei power stations, as well as the recovery of the Majuba silo and Duvha unit three projects.

Between 2001 and 2005, he was a power station manager at Tutuka power station.

A greenfield coal-fired power plant project located west of Lephalale in Limpopo, Medupi will, when completed, be the fourth-largest coal plant in the southern hemisphere, and the biggest dry-cooled power station in the world.

The power station is the fourth dry-cooled, baseload station built in 20 years by Eskom after Kendal, Majuba and Matimba power stations.
