Openserve Ceo Althon Beukes Steps Down After 30 Years With Telkom
He had been CEO of Openserve for four years, but had worked for Telkom in various roles for the past 30 years.
"After many successful years at Telkom, I believe it's the right time to seek new career challenges and allow fresh leadership to guide Openserve into the future under OneTelkom," Beukes said in a statement on Tuesday.
"I leave behind a strong and capable leadership team, fully committed to driving the continued success of this business in the new strategic trajectory of Telkom's future."
Selby Khuzwayo, another long-tenured Telkom employee with 34 years with the group, will take on the role of interim Openserve CEO while Telkom undertakes a recruitment process to fill the position on permanent basis.
Khuzwayo is currently the chief regional officer for the "north zone", which includes Gauteng, Limpopo, North West and Mpumalanga.
