JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - South Africa's Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa has appointed a new board at state-owned power utility Eskom and named Telkom's (J:TKGJ) chairman Jabu Mabuza as its new chairman, the country's presidency said on Saturday.

Eskom has been in a leadership crisis after several board members, including the chairman and chief executive, resigned in 2017 amid growing concerns about governance at the country's sole electricity provider.
