New independent directors must be appointed for Necsa board to be quorate

Following the resignation of five board members from the South African Nuclear Energy Corporation (Necsa) last week, Electricity and Energy Minister Dr Kgosientsho Ramokgopa will need to appoint new independent directors to ensure that the board is quorate. Necsa chairperson Dave Nicholls, who has not resigned, confirmed with Engineering News that the five individuals resigned because of their unhappiness with the implementation of salary increases for senior executives.
