My journey with Eskom began in 2001, and I’ve never looked back. Over the years, this organisation has not only shaped my career but also nurtured my personal growth in ways I never imagined. At Eskom, I’ve been trusted with real responsibility and in that trust, I’ve found purpose.

Every morning I wake up with the knowledge that the work I do has a direct impact on the lives of millions and the future of our economy. It’s more than a job – it’s a calling. Being part of Eskom means being part of something bigger. And for that, I am deeply grateful.

– Dade Mbhele

My experience with Eskom has been truly enriching, offering a dynamic and supportive environment that allowed me to grow both professionally and personally.

The organization provided meaningful development opportunities, including skills training, mentorship, and exposure to strategic projects, all of which significantly boosted my confidence and career progression.

The experience I gained has been instrumental in helping me publish my book. Being part of a team that values continuous learning, and innovation has expanded my capabilities and positioned me to take on greater responsibilities with more clarity and purpose.

– Meshack Hlongwane

My experience at Eskom has been one of a kind. Eskom has been a place where I had the privilege of further studying, learning new skills and meeting incredible people along the way. An organisation this big requires one to really step out of your comfort zone, take hold of the opportunities that the organisation has for its employees, and to learn as much as you can.

Working for the Foundation has been one of the most fulfilling aspects of my career. Executing Corporate social responsibility is having the privilege of impacting south African citizens. I truly believe that we are the doctors of corporate as we change people’s lives.

As I reflect on where I am today, I look forward to where the organisation is headed, and even more so, looking forward to meeting a different version of myself in the future as I continue to grow. Serving Eskom has been a privilege that I have had, nor do I take it for granted.

– Palesa Mocoancoeng

p>After 26 years of dedicated service, Eskom continues to be my source of both personal fulfillment and professional pride. Knowing that the nation depends on us to power its growth and drive the economy forward gives deep meaning to the work we do each day. It’s a privilege to be part of an organisation that touches every South African life and contributes to building a brighter, more sustainable future.
